An authoring system for developing Intelligent Tutoring System

Abstract

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are computer-based education tools used for adaptive learning. An ITS authoring system allows teachers to create different modules of an intelligent tutoring system. In this paper, we present an ITS authoring system that allows teachers with very less computer skill to author most important modules of an ITS with minimum efforts. The salient features of the system include authoring multilingual documents, defining teaching strategies using fuzzy rules, representing student models through fuzzy state transition automata. The authoring system was used by the teachers and evaluated. The results shows fair degree of accuracy, which may further be improved by adding few more features.
