Distance learning system based on distributed semantic networks

Abstract

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are a generation of Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) systems enabling human teacher emulation in the process of learning and teaching. Distributed Semantic Networks Tutor (DiSNeT) is a distance learning system that enables intelligent tutoring within a distributed semantic networks environment. Distance learning and teaching in DiSNeT is based on user interplay, meaning the interplay of personal agents assigned to each user. DiSNeT users are involved in the process of learning and teaching by creating, transforming and using knowledge in the form of expert knowledge and courseware.
