NORMIT: A Web-Enabled Tutor for Database Normalization
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes the design and development of NORMIT, an Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) that teaches database normalization to university students. NORMIT is a Web-enabled system, and we discuss its architecture and techniques used to deal with multiple students. We also discuss Constraint-Based Modeling (CBM), the underlying student and domain modelling approach. NORMIT is the first in the series of constraintbased tutors developed at ICTG that teaches a procedural task, and we comment on the suitability of CBM for such tasks. We also discuss the plans for the evaluation of the system and future work.

Self-explanation is one of the most effective learning strategies, resulting in deep knowledge. In this paper, we discuss how self-explanation is scaffolded in NORMIT, a data normalization tutor. Data normalization is the process of refining a relational database schema in order to ensure that all relations are of high quality. We present the system first, and then discuss how it supports self-...

متن کاملThe Effect of Interaction Granularity on Learning with a Data Normalization Tutor
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) have proven their effectiveness in many instructional domains, ranging in the complexity of domain theories and tasks students are to perform. The typical effect sizes achieved by ITSs are around 1SD, which are still low in comparison to the effectiveness of expert human tutors. Recently there have been several analyses done in order to identify the factors t...
