Developing a Multimedia-Based Intelligent Tutoring System

Abstract

Multimedia systems lack the goal-oriented teaching approach of intelligent tutoring systems. If multimedia is integrated into intelligent tutoring systems then the combination of easy-to-access, highly-structured audiovisual information with goal-oriented intelligent tutoring increases the pedagogical effectiveness of such a system. This paper illustrates how multimedia can be incorporated into an intelligent tutoring system in the implementation of such a system which offers tutoring on zoology.
