A framework for intelligent tutoring in collaborative learning systems using service-oriented architecture

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence techniques are applied in learning systems to enhance the quality of interaction between the users and the system. E-learning system components, learning services and learning companion services have been implemented in a traditional manner whereby there is little possibility of reuse due to the tight coupling of components and lack of reuse for learning activities. The scope of our research aims to design a framework for intelligent tutoring in collaborative learning systems using Service-oriented Architecture. We aim to create a better personalized learning environment whereby users can interact with the system according to their needs and levels. Teaching strategy is designed to provide suitable assistance according to different user groups. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
