Abstract

This paper discusses the inherent goals and trade-offs involved in the design of an efficient, robust Web tutor within the context of a working, hypermedia framework. The focus is on the German Tutor, an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS) that implements generality, interactivity, and modularity as contrasted with more traditional computational constraints and architectures. Design and pedagogical goals of Web-based delivery, such as intelligence and efficiency, will also be addressed but again with an emphasis on the special requirements of efficient, adaptive hypermedia systems.
