VersaTutor – Architecture for a Constraint-Based Intelligent Tutor Generator

摘要

Intelligent tutoring systems have demonstrated their utility in a variety of domains. However, they are notoriously resource intensive to build. We report here on the development of a software tool that enables non-software developers to declaratively create intelligent tutors. This intelligent tutor generator creates applications with rich user interaction and powerful theory-based remediation capabilities. It utilizes the Constraint Based Tutoring paradigm and is generic enough to create tutors in several domains. It is easily extensible through plug-ins.
