Case-Based Instructional Planning for Learning in a Context

This paper describes an architecture of Intelligent Multimedia Tutoring System, called IMTS, which provides an environment that facilitates students to learn the course of Data Structure in a context. Three main teaching strategies on the basis of cognitive apprenticeship are discussed, which are program generation strategy, program completion strategy and program understanding strategy. To generate contexts for learning, we also proposed a structure of case-based instructional planner, in which IMTS can make instructional plans for a particular student by reusing his past teaching experience.
