Abstract

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide many features that improve learning and teaching experiences. ITS are usually interactivity-intense and content-specific. Interactivity-intense assignments are recommended for scaffolding learning, while content-specific systems can offer low flexibility regarding its possible pedagogical approaches and its uses by teachers. In order to overcome this limited flexibility, there are systems which let content-specific interactivity aside to provide authoring tools, with which teachers can author intelligent tutored assignments without programming. The generic model proposed herein intends to address this problem providing flexible authoring tools for interactivity-intense assignments with tutoring features, letting teachers benefit from the flexibility of content authoring tools as well as the interactivity usually restricted to content-specific ITS. We introduce an application framework which implements this model, which is available as free software.
