Interactive Tutoring Model Using Information Cycling

The goal of this paper is to describe a user oriented system framework that provides user tutoring and testing. This tutoring system is suitable for classroom use. It helps to introduce de nitions and simple relations among concepts. The amount of information delivered by the system varies for di erent users. The way information is delivered and the amount of information can be characterized by a set of parameters. The parameters can be used to minimize the time of the learning process. We chose for our experiments only parameters that describe the number of presentations that allow the user to pass a test. The system was developed using PHP and XML programming environment. We present preliminary classroom results along with statistical simulations of the system. Typical application domains were simple procedures from discrete mathematics, probability, computer science terminology, statistics and language elementary vocabulary.
