Authoring Web-Based Tutoring System with WETAS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Constraint-Based Modelling (CBM) is a student modelling technique for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) that is especially suited to complex, open-ended domains. It is easier to build tutors in such domains using CBM than other common approaches. We present WETAS (Web-Enabled Tutor Authoring System), a tutoring engine that facilitates the rapid implementation of ITS in new domains using CBM. We describe the architecture of WETAS and give examples of two domains we have implemented. We also present the results of an evaluation of a tutoring system built using WETAS in a New Zealand school.

ASPIRE: An Authoring System and Deployment Environment for Constraint-Based Tutors
Over the last decade, the Intelligent Computer Tutoring Group (ICTG) has implemented many successful constraint-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) in a variety of instructional domains. Our tutors have proven their effectiveness not only in controlled lab studies but also in real classrooms, and some of them have been commercialized. Although constraint-based tutors seem easier to develo...
متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of Knowledge for Constraint-based Tutors
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) assist students in learning by adaptively providing pedagogical assistance. Numerous empirical studies have shown that students learn more effectively by interacting with ITSs in comparison to traditional classroom based teaching [1, 2]. Although ITSs are highly regarded as effective tools for education, developing an ITS is a time and labour intensive task re...
متن کاملAuthoring Constraint-Based Tutors in ASPIRE
This paper presents a project the goal of which is to develop ASPIRE, a complete authoring and deployment environment for constraintbased intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). ASPIRE is based on our previous work on constraint-based tutors and WETAS, the tutoring shell. ASPIRE consists of the authoring server (ASPIRE-Author), which enables domain experts to easily develop new constraint-base tut...
متن کاملIntelligent Tutoring System Authoring Tools for Non-Programmers
An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is a software application that tries to replicate the performance of a human tutor by supporting the theory of “learning by doing” and providing customized instruction to a student while performing a task within a problem domain such as mathematics, medical diagnosis, or even game play. ITSs have been shown to improve the performance of a student in wide ran...
متن کاملLessons Learned from Scaling Up a Web-Based Intelligent Tutoring System
Client-based intelligent tutoring systems present challenges for content distribution, software updates, and research activity. With server-based intelligent tutoring systems, it is possible to easily distribute new and updated content, deploy new features and bug fixes, and allow researchers to more easily perform randomized, controlled studies with minimal client-side changes. Building a scal...
