The Cost-Effective and Component Based Intelligent Tutoring Shell - the GET-BITSModelLjubomir Jerinic and Vladan DevedzicMany important issues in design and implementation of ITSs (Intelligent Tutoring Systems) somefunctionality focuses on the way inter-object connections are represented, manipulated, and stored inthe computer. However, the advancement of AI methods and techniques makes understanding of ITSsmore difficult, so that the teachers are less and less prepared to accept these systems. As a result, the gapbetween the researchers in the field of ITSs and the educational community is constantly widening. WhileITSs, also called knowledge based tutors, are becoming more common and proving to be increasinglyeffective, each one must still be built from scratch at a significant cost. Also the present ITSs needquite big development environments, huge computing resources and, in consequence, are expensive andhardly portable to personal computers. We have been searching for efficient ways to do these knowledge-engineering tasks. This paper describes our efforts toward developing uniform data and control structuresthat can be used by a wide circle of authors, e.g., domain experts, teachers, curriculum developers, etc.,who are involved in the building of ITSs.
