Dialogue-based personalized reflective learning

The Web-based reflective tutorial dialogue system (W-ReTuDiS) is a system for personalized learning of historical text comprehension on the Web. The system offers a two level open interface: tutor level and learner level. In tutor level, the tutor manages the learner model and makes decisions concerning the appropriate activity and dialogue strategy for the learner according to his learner model, which is based on the diagnostic results. In learner level, the learner participates in the construction of his learner model through dialogue activities, which promote reflective learning. The dialogue generator module, which is activated by the diagnostic results, plans the appropriate sequence of dialogue-parts using the dialogue-parts' library and constructs personalized tutorial dialogue. The system promotes learners' personalized reflection to accomplish the learning goals and helps learners to be aware of their reasoning and leads them towards the scientific thought.
