Abstract:
In this paper, we present a case in which we
integrated an intelligent tutoring system- ITS- in a basic
mathematics course. The proposed ITS –PrivateTutor- is
dynamic, web-based, adaptive, and interactive. It is
composed of six different modules; each has a distinct
function: student, domain, question, communication, expert,
and controller modules. The purpose of this system is not to
eliminate the role of human teachers, but to complement
their effort in reaching all students and having one-to-one
tutoring approach instead one-to-many. An experiment was
conducted in order to study the effectiveness of
PrivateTutor on class achievement. Students who were
enrolled in a “Basic Mathematics” course in the Fall of
2005-2006 and Spring of 2006 at the Lebanese American
University were randomly assigned to two groups: control
and treatment. The experimental results failed to show any
significant positive effect.
