Abstract: |
One of the main requirements to be met by Commputer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) systems is adapting the process of teaching to the individual needs of the student. At the present stage the idea of creating knowledge managed CAI systems is a reasonable compromise between the didactic effectiveness and the author's labour expense. In such systems the domain knowledge is used for managing the flow of control within the lesson and for detailed analysis of the student's knowledge, but not for interactive control at a level lower than that of the frame.
An analysis is suggested based on the characteristics of CAI systems components. The application of planning techniques in knowledge-managed CAI system is specified. An archtecture variant for knowledge-managed CAI system is suggested. An experiment was carried out with the application of MIKROKURS - a software environment for developing tutoring courses wich is itself a knowledge-managed tutoring system. |
