Multi-agents designed for Web-based cooperative tutoring

Cooperative instruction has always been one of important research focuses in the field of Web-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS). With the rapid advance of distance learning and networking technology, cooperative ITSs have been a rapidly developing area of R&D in AI. Based on multi-agent system (MAS) and client-server model, this paper designed multi-agents for Web-based cooperative ITS with autonomous, learning and cooperative abilities, creating a distributed collaborative and interactive e-learning environment.
