ITS Intelligent Tutoring Systems
With the use of Artificial Intelligence
techniques, ITS can identify students strengths,
weaknesses and preferred style of learning.

• knowledge of the domain
• knowledge of the learner
• knowledge of teacher strategies

Conclusions

• Emerging research shows that learning is
  fundamentally both social and experiential.
• Intelligent tutoring systems integrated into
  web-based environment can enhance its efficiency
  and flexibility and has great potentials in
  facilitation of collaborative learning.
• Collaborative Intelligent Tutoring System (CITS)
  should be able to provide an environment, where
  the student can interact with one or more,
  simulated collaborative partners and/or fellow
  students, to progress towards a common goal of
  learning.
