Towards a More Presentation-Oriented Approach in Intelligent Tutoring System Blackboard Architectures
Mark L. Dyson · 2003
mdyson~afit.af.mil Blackboard architectures for Intelligent Tutoring Sys-tems (ITSs) tend to focus on control structures for se-lecting knowledge sources. Current research has begun to explore the psychology of how knowledge should be presented, rather than simply on the mechanics of what knowledge to present. Specifically, experiments have shown than presenting the same knowledge using different formats can produce quantifiable differences in the effectiveness of an ITS session. This paper in-troduces a variation on a "standard " ITS bla~kboo~d, emphasizing presentation method as well as content selection.
