A Dialogue System to Teach Database Concepts

This paper describes a program written to investigate the derivation of teaching strategies in computer-assisted learning dialogue systems. The program endeavours to teach database concepts and is based upon a relational database management system. The program's design, however, is intended to be independent of the particular subject matter taught and is influenced by the recent emphasis on knowledge representation in artificial intelligence.
