Developing intelligent tutoring systems with a Hypermedia Object-Based Intelligent Educator (HOBIE)

Abstract

There is a great potential for exploiting computer assisted tutoring in industrial training situations and in formal educational environments. This paper discusses our research in developing the concept of an Intelligent Authoring/Instructional System(IA/IS) that can be used as an intelligent courseware development environment as well as an intelligent tutoring system. The goal of our research is to integrate the contributions of the content expert, the instructional design expert, and the course-ware developer into one system that will be used by both authors and students. We discuss how artificial intelligence techniques associated with case-based planning can improve the management of the instructional interaction between the Instructional System and the student.
