Abstract
This paper presents a new method to combine in the ASTUS framework the advantages of generic ITSs and their standards with the usability of their domain-specific counterparts when faced with the problem of user interface design. This method involves coupling the taught domain’s semantics with the interface, defining scripts to explicit problem-solving step recognition and specifying how relevant data is gathered from that interface. The method is applied to a classic problem solving domain to highlight its potential.
