Klappentext The computers' impact on education is undeniably strong! but instructional software has not reached a level where it is truly responsive to student needs nor flexible enough for effective teaching and learning. Though sophisticated on many levels! current instructional software does not "understand" the knowledge it is teaching and thus does not explain topics nor reason about the students' learning needs. Building Intelligent Tutors discusses knowledge-based systems that assess the student's knowledge and are adaptive to a student's learning needs. The book covers a broad range of topics that help developers and designers produce the best intelligent learning environments possible. It takes multi-disciplinary approach to using computers for teaching and reports on research! development and real-world experiences! such as intelligent tutors! web-based learning systems! adaptive learning systems! intelligent agents and using multi-agent intelligence. Zusammenfassung Discusses educational systems that assess a student's knowledge and are adaptive to a student's learning needs. This book describes multidisciplinary approaches to using computers for teaching. It also discusses intelligent tutors! web-based learning systems! adaptive learning systems! intelligent agents and intelligent multimedia.

Relazione
"In one volume, Beverly Woolf provides a thorough and engaging introduction to the field of intelligent tutoring and related AI-based educational systems, covering the multiple approaches nascent in the field along with detailed case studies and the practical details of implementation. There is much to savor, both for the seasoned practitioner and those sampling the field for the first time." --William R. Murray, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, Knowledge Systems Research, Boeing Phantom Works
"The book has broad coverage of all the interdisciplinary aspects that the field draws upon. No one, except an expert intelligent tutoring builder like Beverly could have written this book. She uses as examples of intelligent tutoring system from others leading intelligent tutoring, as well as talking about systems her and her colleagues have built." --Neil T. Heffernan, Assistant Professor, Computer Science Dept, Fuller Labs
"Woolf's Building Intelligent Interactive Tutors is a thorough, clear, logical description of the science, technology, methods, and rationale behind a very important, up-and-coming, educational technology: Intelligent Tutoring Systems. It will be very beneficial to developers and users (teachers and students) of ITSs and those who make instructional technology acquisition decisions. It's sure to become the standard, referenced ITS text." --Dick Stottler, President, Stottler Henke Associates, Inc.
