An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is designed to provide and simulate the behavior of the existing educational process. Interactive learning environments deploy simple to complex tools for providing mindful feedback to students. The effect is measured and reflected on learners' academic performance and achievement of subsequent learning outcomes. The study examines contemporary research on instructional designing, feedback strategies and intelligent tutoring systems to understand effect of intelligent tutoring in the form of "informed feedback" on learners reported satisfaction with an interactive learning environment. The study is based on primary data, whereby intervention of intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is included by simulating human-tutors, acting as intelligent-tutors and providing informed feedback as per Interactive Tutoring Feedback Model factors; namely i) Requirement Engineering, ii) Characterization of learners on the basis of meta-cognition and motivation, and iii) Characterization of informed feedback for mindful acceptance. The study was able to conclude that despite being many difficulties in contextual interpretation, intelligent tutoring can bring about positive change in satisfaction score of learners in an interactive learning environment.
