An Intelligent, Affective and Configurable Tutor for 3rd Grade Natural Numbers Teaching

The current document presents the design and implementation of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) capable of being configured by different experts, in fields that are important for an ITS. Several features have been implemented so that the specialists are the ones who provide the required tools for the teaching of 3 rd grade natural numbers. The ITS can be modified by adding fuzzy sets and rules, by changing the Affective module, the diagnostic test and student's learning style. This allows the ITS to change according to the environment and to the needs of the students that uses it.
