Abstract
With the objective of improving the tutoring and authoring capabilities of an existing ILE we describe how an open architecture and the use of the JavaBean specification helps to integrate JESS, improves its knowledge representation and opens up the system to interoperability and component reuse. In addition, we investigate the feasibility of integrating the suite of Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT) and illustrate issues which concern its use for authoring exploratory activities and representing instructional knowledge.
