Abstract

This paper describes a Conscious Tutoring System (CTS) capable of dynamic fine-tuned assistance to users. We put forth the integration of an Episodic Learning mechanism within CTS that allows it to first establish, through data mining algorithms, gross user group models. CTS then uses these models to classify incoming users, evaluate their performance, predict their future behavior, and, through a Pedagogical knowledge mechanism, decide which tutoring intervention fits best. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
