Abstract

We present algorithms guiding the identification of student solution strategies in the Domain-Independent Adaptive Tutoring System (DIATS). The DIATS is a distributed computer-assisted instruction system with a prototype in the domain of psychiatric mental disorders. Problems are solved using differential diagnosis decision trees from the DMS-IV-TR. Student solution strategy identification is performed by the Response Analysis Unit of the modeler. The Domain-Independent Adaptive Tutoring System (DIATS) has a distributed architecture that combines shared-data and client-server styles.
