Adaptation in the Web-based Logic-ITA

Abstract

The Logic-ITA is an Intelligent Teaching Assistant system for the teaching/learning of propositional logic. The system is tailored to two different types of uses: for students, it is an autonomous Intelligent Tutoring System, whilst for teachers, it includes functionality to set up learning levels, adjust parameters for progressing through these levels, monitor the class' progress and collect data. This paper presents some characteristics of the Web-based version of the Logic-ITA. In particular, the web-based version allows a centralisation on the server of the student models, which contain all the users' individual information related to their learning. This means that all the adaptation features of the Logic Tutor are maintained, whilst providing (1) students with a large degree of flexibility in terms of when and where they choose to use the tool, and (2) teachers with the possibility to monitor accurately the results and statistics. © 2002 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
