INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEM

A computer implemented method and apparatus for simulating an intelligent tutor for interactive adaptive training of learners in any domain includes a Domain Module, a Tutor Module and an Interface. Items to be learned, and their prerequisite and other dependency relationships are represented in a fuzzy graph, together with a fuzzy logic computational engine, which dynamically adapts the available sequence of training actions (such as presentations/explanations, simulations, exercises and tasks/questions) to a current assessment of the learner's knowledge skill, the level of difficulty of the presented material, and preferences and learning style of the individual learner. Fuzzy logic is used as the basis of arc weightings, and the computations, but the general methodology is applicable to other approaches to weighting in computation.
