Intelligent Tutoring Systems are dynamically organised instructional programs that employ representations of expert, instructional, and student knowledge to provide individualised instruction much like a personal human tutor. Open Learning Environment and Instruction System is an integrated authoring tool that enables any computer-literate lecturer to construct intelligent tutoring systems from existing teaching materials such as texts, graphics, animation, sound, video, simulators, HTML pages, software packages (i.e. compilers, spreadsheets, CAD-s...), etc. The system makes it possible for a lecturer to take the pieces built with standard software applications and configure them into the components of an intelligent tutoring system, which employs a number of different teaching strategies and provides a regular student modelling loop. This tool was designed at the School of Computer and Information Science, University of South Australia, and is currently being used for creating intelligent multimedia courseware.
