The concept of granularity has been applied in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) for the purpose of diagnosis, plan recognition, reasoning and belief revision. These implementations have been related with the knowledge management within the system. This paper considers granularity from an interface design viewpoint. The learning tasks are decomposed into smaller components at varying levels of granularity with the perspective shift enabled through the user interface. They remove the need for the system to engage in complex inferencing about the user knowledge as the system can provide a status feedback (e.g. correct/incorrect) at a coarser grain size and require the student to use a fine grained interface for more detailed interaction. The students also find it easier to focus on and grasp these smaller components.
