Evaluating an Intelligent Tutoring System for Design Patterns: the DEPTHS Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evaluation of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) is an important though often neglected stage of ITS development. There are many evaluation methods available but literature does not provide clear guidelines for the selection of evaluation method(s) to be used in a particular context. This paper describes the evaluation study of DEPTHS, an intelligent tutoring system for learning software design patterns. The study which took place during the spring semester 2006 was aimed at assessing the system’s effectiveness and the accuracy of the applied student model. It also targeted the evaluation of the students’ subjective experiences with the system.

متن کاملAdaptive Patterns for Intelligent Tutoring Systems
The complexity of design and implementation of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) is caused by the lack of a clear road map or implementation methodology. This has led us to investigate the role of patterns in ITS implementation in order to provide software developers with solutions to recurring ITS design problems. In this research work, we highlight the role of adaptive patterns in intelligen...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Tutoring System for Learning Design Patterns
The paper describes design of the Design Pattern ITS system, an intelligent tutoring system for learning Design Patterns. The basic idea of this system is a systematic introduction into the concept of most frequently used classes of patterns. An individual course is generated automatically for a given teaching goal and is dynamically adapted at run time to the student’s individual progress and ...
