SAFARI: An Environment for Creating Tutoring Systems in Industrial Training.
Jan Gecsei, Claude Frasson · 1994
: industrial formation requires specific tools and architecture. The Safari project aims at developing various architectures with different levels of complexity and also a methodology. Creating tutoring systems remains difficult for various reasons : the different components of their architecture are not stabilized, the structure and type of knowledge to be used are of different granularity and complex to handle, they require multiple expertise which is difficult to integrate. However, the utility of tutoring systems having more or less intelligent capabilities is obvious. Most of intelligent tutoring systems have been experimented in academic domains such as mathematics, physics, programming. But do we lack of teachers in such domains ? Is it crucial for improving the present training in universities or colleges ? On the other hand, there is a global market competition in the industry, skills are rapidly evolving (sometimes in complexity) with new technical environment and special...
