Abstract

Distributed cognitive learning theory provides a comprehensive model to cognitive interaction and knowledge sharing. If distributed cognitive theory and distributed virtual reality technology are introduced into intelligent tutoring system, the creation of a realistic cognitive context, the sharing of resources, the improvement of personalized learning and the enhancement of teaching efficiency will become possible. This paper discusses distributed cognitive learning theory and its guidance to system design, presents the DITS (Distributed Intelligent Tutoring System, DITS) architecture based on Multi-Agent System (MAS) and distributed cognitive theory, and focuses on the analysis of the learning services core modules of DITS, including organization and management of teaching, learning, teaching experts and collaborative communication.
