Intelligent technology for construction of tutoring integrated expert systems: new aspects

The main aim of this paper is to acquaint readers of the journal “Open Education” with the accumulated experience of construction and practical use in the educational process of Cybernetics Department of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI of a special class of intelligent tutoring systems, based on the architectures of tutoring integrated expert systems. The development is carried out on the problem-oriented methodology basis and intelligent software environment of AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench. They provide automation of support of all the stages of construction and maintenance of the life cycle of such systems.
In the context of basic models, methods, algorithms and tools that implement the conceptual foundations of a problem-oriented methodology, and which are evolutionarily developed and experimentally investigated in the process of constructing various architectures of training integrated expert systems, including webbased ones, some features of the generalized model of intellectual learning and its components are considered (in particular, the competence-based model of the trainee, the adaptive tutoring model, the ontology model of the course /discipline et al.) as well as methods and means of their realization in the current versions of tutoring integrated expert systems.
In current versions of tutoring integrated expert systems examples of implementation of typical intelligent tutoring problems are described for the generalized ontology “Intelligent systems and technologies” (individual planning of the method of studying the training course, intelligent analysis of training tasks, intelligent support for decision making).
A brief description of the conceptual foundations of the model of the intelligent software environment of the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench is given and a description of some components of the model is presented with a focus on the basic components – intelligent planner, standard design procedures and reusable components, which provide automated support for the prototyping processes of tutoring integrated expert systems. A brief description of the models and approaches, used in the formalization of the planning and management processes of prototyping is presented.
Schemes for the implementation of the standard design procedure “Construction of training IES and web-IES” in different modes of operation are described, as well as the technology of using reusable components for the development of tutoring integrated expert systems. Quantitative estimations of various components/ parameters of tutoring integrated expert systems are given and further prospects for their application are analyzed.
