Abstract

The intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is one of the typical Adaptive Instructional Systems (AIS) applications. ITS has been one of the cutting-edge research fields over the past three decades. Despite the many successes of ITSs, there are a few challenges for implementing them on a large scale. One significant challenge is content authoring [14, 21]. Many authoring components of ITSs are inaccessible to the average user due to their complexity and time-consuming nature. This paper introduces a potential cloud-based solution that will make authoring ITS content faster and relatively easier than existing methods. We believe that our approach can be utilized by other similar systems.
