Résumé
This collection of essays -- each of which treats an integral aspect of the field -- defines several key concepts and their interrelationships, outlines basic research issues, and discusses near-term applications projects. The book examines three foundations of ITSs in detail -- expert, student diagnostic, and instructional or curricular knowledge -- and describes: How they are embodied in computer-assisted instructional environments How these systems accrue the advantages of advanced computer interface technologies How ITSs will emerge in the real world of complex problem solving How researchers must learn to evaluate the effectiveness and overall quality of these dynamic systems in a world where machine tutoring may one day be taken for granted.
