In this paper, we present the architecture of a Web-based Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) for teaching new information technologies (e.g. Internet). The system is addressed to high school teachers. It contains a variety of courses starting from introductory topics addressed to beginners and scaling up to more advanced topics. Its distinctive functionality is its ability to tailor the presentation of the educational topics to the users' diverse needs. This is accomplished by using AI techniques to record each user's learning model as well as the various pedagogical decisions. The teaching process is under the control of a hybrid expert system.
