Abstract
This study purposes an approach of computer-supported learning by teaching. The learning activities of learning by teaching a virtual character are usually involving demonstrating and tutoring. Here we combine demonstrating and tutoring into a teaching virtual apprentice activity. First, student demonstrates solving problems to the apprentice. Then student will monitor and tutor apprentice when the apprentice solves problems. We will try to explore effects of different teaching activities that are demonstrating, tutoring, and demonstrating combine with tutoring.
