The Application of AI Technology in Intelligent Tutoring System
An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) comes as a result of the application of the artificial intelligence in the field of education. the concept of ITS is briefly introduced in this article. The modules and structures in the ITS is also detailed.
An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is any computer system that provides direct customized instruction or feedback to students. the theory of learning by doing is implemented by the ITS. a range of different technologies maybe employed by the ITS to achieve its functionality.
structure of an ITS system
The four different subsystems or modules of the ITS are:
the interface module
provides the means for the student to interact with the ITS and usually includes a GUI feature.
The expert module
It consists of a description of the knowledge or behaviors that represent expertise in the subject-matter domain the ITS is teaching
The student module,
This module consists of descriptions of student knowledge or behaviors, misconceptions and the knowledge gaps.
The tutor module.
A mismatch between a student's behavior or knowledge and the expert's presumed behavior or knowledge is fed to this module which then takes the corrective action such as remedial teaching etc.
ITS is always the core content of artificial intelligence in
education (AIED). The different tutor models con be adopted based on the student behaviour. To replace the human teachers and to achieve the best teaching by letting the computer system be the guide and helper is the ultimate aim of the ITS systems.
