Exchanging courses between different Intelligent Tutoring Systems: A generic course generation authoring tool

摘要

In recent years a great effort has been made in order to create Intelligent Tutoring Systems that get close to human teaching. Some of the handicaps of the systems already created are the impossibility of sharing the courses between different Intelligent Tutoring Systems and the difficulty of creating them. Once the intelligent tutoring system is created, creating a new course is an expensive job that requires the intervention of many people that are expert in different areas. In this paper a generic and extensible authoring tool to create courses for different Intelligent Tutoring Systems is presented. This authoring tool allows the creation of courses for different types of intelligent tutoring systems. Once a course is created it can be exported to another intelligent tutoring system, reusing the domain model that the course represents. The prototype of the authoring tool has been tested with two simple Intelligent Tutoring Systems.
