Abstract

Simple computer assisted instruction (CAI) systems suffer from the fact that in general they do not know the subject matter they are teaching. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) use artificial intelligence (AI) formalisms to represent knowledge in order to improve on CAI systems. We survey a number of systems developed, and the emerging architecture for ITS development.
