Abstract

Acquiring the domain knowledge is a task that requires a major portion of the time and effort when building an ITS. Researchers have been exploring ways of automating the knowledge acquisition process since the inception of ITSs with limited success. In this seminar we present CAS (Constraint Acquisition System), an authoring system for automatically acquiring the domain model for constraint-based tutoring systems and results of preliminary evaluations of the system.
