A Web-Based Intelligent Tutoring System

Appropriate use of computer technology in the learning process has been lacking and many web-based and stand alone tutorial systems in today’s market-place do not provide material that teaches students in an enjoyable and effective way. This paper proposes a Web-based Intelligent Tutorial System that will present material in an intuitive, interactive, and innovative manner while focusing on ways to integrate qualitative and quantitative methods throughout the learning experience. In this system, the lessons are guided by the actual skill set of the student taking the course. The system evaluates the student’s state of knowledge through examination and, depending on the specific percentage and level of questions they answer correctly, it will guide them through a lesson plan tailored to their learning needs. The students take these exams at regular intervals and the lesson plan is adjusted in accordance to their learning at each specific level. The emphasis in this proposal is Algebra, as it provides the basis for higher learning in any field of study.
