Michael Quadros Duarte, Brian Phillip Butz · 2020
The Interactive Multimedia Intelligent Tutoring System (IMITS) is an intelligent tutoring system that is focussed on the instruction of undergraduate electrical engineering students.The material covered is that typically presented in courses on introductory circuits.At present, it consists of three modules: DC, AC and Transient Analysis.IMITS is intended as a course supplement.While there is a substantial amount of multimedia material and interactions, the software package is intended as a tutor, providing extra help for a student taking a face-toface, on-line, or self-directed course.As the student progresses through the material, the expert system that is embedded in the software will watch and analyze the student's activities.By doing this, it is able to determine the student's strengths and weaknesses and determine what material should be presented in what order.The IMITS software environment has been under development for three years.It has recently been sent to several colleges and universities throughout the country for testing and evaluation.This paper discusses the present state of IMITS.
