Applying a Knowledge Acquisition Method in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Abstract

Collecting the course material is an important task in intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), and a tool for collecting such information is needed. We propose a knowledge acquisition method to do this work for an ITS which uses a knowledge base to store the teaching material. Knowledge acquisition can be basically divided to three research issues：knowledge elicitation, Knowledge representation, and knowledge organization. By focusing on these three concepts, we explain how these can be implemented to an authoring system for ITSs.
