Abstract

Constraint-Based Modelling (CBM) is a student modelling technique for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) that is especially suited to complex, open-ended domains. It is easier to build tutors in such domains using CBM than other common approaches. We present WETAS(Web-Enabled Tutor Authoring System), a tutoring engine that facilitates the rapid implementation of ITS in new domains using CBM. We describe the architecture of WETAS and give examples of two domains we have implemented. We also present the results of an evaluation of a tutoring system built using WETAS in a New Zealand school.
