An Intelligent Interactive Tutoring System For Engineering Education

We present the architecture of an Intelligent Interactive Tutoring System (IITS) that is webbased, and can be adapted to courses in engineering, sciences, and mathematics. This research seeks an architecture that can be used by an instructor to make an online learning system for a course the instructor wants to teach in classroom or online, rather than developing an in-depth tutoring system for any specific course. The Intelligent Interactive Tutoring System Shell integrates mathematical tools and an expert-system-type logical analysis/synthesis tool in a webbased environment. The IITS consists of several components including an instructor interface, a student interface, a student model, a student log, a reasoning system, and a mathematical tool interface module, and guides the student through a monitored problem solving session.
