An initial framework of contexts for designing usable intelligent tutoring systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of context has been an issue of research in various aspects of intelligent systems such as knowledge management, natural language processing, reasoning and so on. This paper focuses on the various contexts surrounding the design and use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and proposes an initial framework of contexts by classifying them into three major groupings: interactional, environmental and objectival contexts. Interactional contexts are used by the system, environmental contexts surround its design and use while objectival contexts refer to the objectives of an educational system as exhibited by its ‘teaching’ and ‘assessment’ practices. A better understanding of these contexts is essential for designing better and more usable intelligent tutoring systems.

A Multi-Agent Based Framework to Build Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Intelligent agent approaches have been applied to designing and development of new ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems). However the design of such systems is mainly based on ad-hoc approaches. In this paper, we adopt a multi-agent approach which explores knowledge engineering and an important feature of software engineering based on design experiences: frameworks. Here, we describe a conceptual ...

Designing and planning in multiagent systems (MAS) can be an example of planning problems, which has been recently known as a powerful processing tool in transactional and interactional environments. Case-based planning (CBP) which is an induction-based mechanism, has many applicational abilities in these problems. Intelligent tutoring system that have kept the most attention in the computation...

متن کاملMotivations for a Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) for Authoring, Instruction and Analysis
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) have been shown to be effective tools for one-to-one tutoring in a variety of well-defined domains (e.g., mathematics, physics) and offer distinct advantages over traditional classroom teaching/training. In examining the barriers to the widespread use of ITS, the time and cost for designing and author-ing ITS have been widely cited as the primary obstacles. Co...
