A Multi_Agents Based Intelligent Tutoring System for teaching Arabic Grammar
Author: Mona Hafez Mahmoud
Abstract: Intelligent agent has been around for years, but the actual implementation is still in its early stages. This research is a scientific mix between two big topics of Artificial Intelligence. These topics are: the Intelligent Agents and the Intelligent Tutoring System. An Intelligent Agent is a set of independent software tools that are linked with other applications and database software running within a computer environment. The primary function of an Intelligent Agent is to help a user (client) to better interact with a computer application. It is assumed that artificial intelligence (AI) is involved and certain degree of autonomous problem solving ability is presented in agent-based technology systems. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) simulates the one-to one human tutor for delivering knowledge interactively instead of using books and the traditional learning environment. To come up with the most learning outcomes, ITSs have incorporated several techniques such as: error identification and correction, and building consistent explanations through integrating techniques of cognitive science and Artificial Intelligence. Different tutoring systems have been implemented to cover different subjects and languages such as: English, Arabic, Chinese, German and many others [2]. In this research ITS is covering grammar of Arabic language. The global structure of ITS consists of mainly four modules: a pedagogic module, a question selector module, an expert module and a student module in addition to a user interface module. But in this system we didn’t need an expert module because we used Constraints Based Model (CBM) technology (that will be explained below). This work is implemented under a project that is called AG_TUTOR (Arabic Grammar tutor). This project simulates the behavior of instructors and students and the relations between them in teaching the course of the Arabic Grammar of the fourth grade of the elementary stage in Egypt. In this system the technology of Intelligent Agents is used. This research concentrates on the Intelligent Agents part of AG_TUTOR.
