Using Student Explanations as Models for Adapting Tutorial Dialogue.
Pamela Jordan · 2004
We describe a dialogue management approach that adapts di-alogue strategies to a changing user model under the con-straint that the approach be able to scale up rapidly for in-telligent tutoring systems applications. Dialogue strategies are expressed as constraints on how to move through a stu-dent model that is composed of linked nodes. By orienting the dialogue to a linked model of the student’s likely beliefs and expressing the dialogue strategies as constraints on move-ment within the model, the approach facilitates adaptation of the dialogue strategy as the student model changes.
