Manish Chouhan · 2013
Web based distance education is used in higher education as a means of providing knowledge as a teacher to different community of individuals. Teaching a subject to a number of students is always a challenge for the teacher. Teachers uses many teaching strategies to teach a subject student to students. But when it comes to a computer based system it becomes very difficult. So providing an effective Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) Framework is a challenge. While many approaches exist for solving this problem, I select Socratic Questioning teaching strategy. I have developed a moodle plugin to implement this teaching strategy, which will help the teachers to teach their course using Socratic Questioning method in distance learning environment. This plugin provides functionality to create quiz using Socratic Questioning strategies. Then I have discussed functionality of moodle plugin developed by me which will be used as an activity in moodle, followed by implementation of this plugin, and challenges in integrating my plugin into moodle.
