DEF

... a computer-based instruction system intended to provide effective, appropriate, and flexible instruction through the application of artificial intelligence techniques and knowledge representations.

CONT

An intelligent tutor must be able ... to generate instructional material: to present the subject matter, ask questions of the student, give examples, and give explanations to the student. [It] must be able to answer free-form questions from the student. The tutor must be able to evaluate the student's responses or behavior [and] to diagnose student errors, or "bugs." ... And once the source of the error has been found, the tutor has to figure out the most efficient way to correct the student's misunderstanding. Finally, intelligent tutors must themselves be able to learn.

OBS

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) find their roots in the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) movement of the 1950s. ... The major advance of ITS, or Intelligent CAI systems, as they are also called, is the use of techniques of knowledge representation pioneered within the Knowledge Engineering community.

OBS

The first three letters of "intelligent tutoring system" are often capitalized. The phrases "computer tutor" or "computer-based tutor" are opposed to "human tutor."

DEF

Système d'enseignement assisté par ordinateur intégrant des techniques d'intelligence artificielle permettant un apprentissage progressif et individualisé.

CONT

Un système EIAO est capable de prendre en compte les paramètres pédagogiques suivants : niveau de l'apprenant, degré de difficulté souhaité, objectif d'enseignement spécifié.

CONT

[...] un tutoriel intelligent doit être capable d'acquérir des connaissances par lui-même, c'est-à-dire d'apprendre. [...] les connaissances d'un tutoriel intelligent se répartissent en quatre ensembles : le modèle du domaine, le modèle d'enseignement-apprentissage, le modèle de l'élève et l'interface gérant le dialogue entre l'élève et l'ordinateur.

OBS

Contrairement aux didacticiels classiques auxquels on peut les comparer, les tutoriels intelligents possèdent des connaissances sur le sujet à enseigner, sur l'élève et sur la pédagogie. Ils adoptent une approche misant sur l'activité de l'étudiant et où le tuteur électronique est avant tout un conseiller.

CONT

... substantial progress is being made toward the intertwined goals of understanding how human tutors function and building a computer-based system that can give intelligent tutorial aid to a student. Existing computer tutors, such as the FLOW tutor system ... are able to perform reasonably, and occasionally brilliantly, in restricted environments.

CONT

Computer-based tutorial systems, such as the FLOW tutor, can be evaluated according to their fidelity as a simulation of a human tutor and their function as a tutor.

CONT

Computer tutors should know what they teach. ... In addition, it is possible that the tutor could use its own knowledge to generate explanations as appropriate, and could understand a student's difficulties by some analysis of the knowledge involved.

CONT

...SCHOLAR was a first attempt to develop a tutorial system to teach "the same way human teachers do."
