Knowledge Management for Agent-Based Tutoring Systems

As the educational field is becoming increasingly technology-heavy, more and more educational systems involve on-line or interactive training and tutoring techniques, and lots of educational information becomes available via Intranet and World Wide Web. Managing large volumes of learning information and knowledge is one of the crucial issues for these educational systems as appropriate knowledge management is the key to more effective and efficient learning. The chapter discusses that an intelligent agents system could be successfully applied to the educational field and how knowledge management techniques plays a very important role.
