2.3.1 Introduction
A different approach to CAI is that of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). Scientists who are developing ITSs come from the area of artificial intelligence (AI). As the name says an ITS should act like an intelligent tutor. The program should be able to communicate with the student to assess student performance, and then it should teach the student in a manner appropriate for that particular individual.The main idea of ITS is, firstly, the modeling of the knowledge domain (domain model), of the student (student model) and of the pedagogical strategies (tutor model), and, secondly, the focus on creating a powerful user interface [SB82].
