Main Components of Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Amir Reza · 2013
Computers have been used in education for more than three decades. Computer-based training (CBT) and computer-aided instruction (CAI) were the first such systems deployed as an attempt to teach using computers. Computer-based training has two important branches 1) E-Learning System and 2) Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Both systems have strengths and weaknesses. It is well known that e learning Systems not provide the same kind of individualised attention that a student would receive from a human tutor, as they do not reason about the domain and the learner. This has prompted research in the field of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). ITSs achieve their intelligence by representing pedagogical decisions about how to teach as well as information about the learner. They have been shown to be highly effective at increasing students' performance and motivation The goals of learning no longer were solely based on acquiring skills and facts but started to include the strategies and process used by the student to reach mastery of a knowledge domain. This paper reviews ITSs architectures. (ebrahimy dehkourdy, Amir Reza, Mohasanati, Reza, Hakimnia, Sajad. Main Components of Intelligent Tutoring Systems.
