Agent-based technology can be used in developing educational tutoring systems. An Intelligent Tutoring System, named as `ProgTool has been developed for teaching object-oriented programming concepts. The `Prog-Tool has been developed using JADE (Java Agents Development Environment) framework. This system helps the students to learn about Objects, Classes and other programming concepts by taking tutorials from it sitting anywhere and anytime. This paper shows that usage of `Prog-Tool helps students with topic sequencing, visual representation, and choice of multiple exercises and tests on each topic makes it a very useful for students.
