Abstract

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) have an important role to play in American education, but have had limited impact because of their high cost of development. Making instructional decisions based on biologically inspired models is a very complex task.

Recent advances in AuthorIT & TutorIT offer the most efficient system for developing and delivering highly adaptive tutoring systems ever developed. TutorIT is a general purpose tutor that takes a representation of what is to be learned as input and makes all diagnostic and remedial decisions automatically based entirely on the structure of what is to be learned completely independent of content semantics. TutorIT also can easily be configured to define a wide range of delivery methods.
