A Framework for Representing Tutorial Discourse

Abstract

We set forth general techniques for managing discourse in an intelligent tutor. These techniques are being implemented in a structure that dynamically reasons about the discourse, a student's response, and the tutor's move. The structure is flexible, domainindependent, and designed to be rebuilt- decision points and machine actions are modifiable through a visual editor. We discuss this formal reasoning structure and its application in an intelligent tutor. I. Tutorial Discourse We have built a process model for tutorial discourse that provides custom-tailored feedback to students in the form of examples, analogies, and simulations. The processing model views discourse as navigation through a set of possible
