Tutorial Component

The tutorial component supports the learners while they interact with the learning materials: they can specify their learning goals and a course generator automatically assembles a sequence of learning materials that fits best the learner's goal, capabilities, and preferences. Additionally, an exercise suggestion agent dynamically selects those exercises best suited for the learner. In case learning problems arise, a suggestion agent provides hints to the learner how to overcome the difficulties. All suggestions and hints are based on well-founded pedagogical expertise. By new forms of interactions, the learners, too, can access the pedagogical knowledge and actively extend the course.

In LeActiveMath, an instructional ontology and a generic architecture have been developed to integrate these features and to realize  pedagogical tasks.
