Web-Based Adaptive Tutoring: An Approach Based on Logic Agents and Reasoning about Actions

摘要

In this paper we describe an approach to the construction of adaptive tutoring systems, based on techniques from the research area of Reasoning about Actions and Change.This approach leads to the implementation of aprototype system, having a multi-agent architecture,whose kernel is a set of rational agents,programmed in the logic programminglanguage DyLOG. In the prototype that weimplemented the reasoning capabilities of theagents are exploited both to dynamically buildstudy plans and to verify the correctness ofuser-given study plans with respect to thecompetence that the user wants to acquire.
