Intelligent tutoring system with 300-certification program based on WIPI

Abstract

Recent developments in content processing technology and the wide-spread diffusion of wired and wireless Internet mean that users can now learn by means of a computer, anytime and anywhere. English learning under the multimedia environment is able to increase the interest of learners and lead to the development of their communication ability. Although using computers to teach English in a conventional educational environment provides motivation and effective learning on the part of the students, the method still has problems, which include the provision of learning materials without consideration of teaching methods, and evaluation without provision for differences in individual student levels. In order to solve the problems and take the advantages, we propose the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) for English learning with mobile technology. With overcoming limitations of the mobile environment and using proper mobile contents, the proposed system provides the effective learning method based on the ITS which is able to replace teacher's roles. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
