Intelligent Tutoring Interface for Technology Enhanced Learning

Objective

The objective of INTUITEL is to enhance e-learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMS) with features that so far have been provided only by human tutors.

Benefits:

• An INTUITEL-enabled system will provide an integrated learning environment that can reconfigure and adapt itself to the needs of any learner
  
• Monitor learning behaviour and progress, so as to support learning with formative feedback based on the learner’s profile and the relevant pedagogical models
• Learning feedback will be informed by insights arising from monitoring the student’s learning style and attitude, the cultural and emotional context in which learning takes place and the relevant environmental influences such as ambient noise, available communication bandwidth and interface features such as the screen size

INTUITEL will push forward the frontiers of e-learning to support a global learning cloud with personalised technology-enhanced learning made available for any person in any place, through any access device and under any external conditions, including mobile learning scenarios. Learner-directed navigation tools will support the selection of appropriate content matched to the learner’s learning goals and their targeted competency level.

This is achieved by using the learner’s elicited responses to locate their position in the relevant cognitive model. This cognitive model will be based on the INTUITEL Learning Progress Model and together with positive and goal-oriented feedback messages will effectively make available a skilled teacher’s insights to support each learner in arriving at an intuitive model of their own current learning effort; thus enhancing their meta-cognitive skills and their learning experience.

Particular emphasis will be put on a widespread dissemination of INTUITEL results across the e-learning industry and involving schools, universities and other key players in the education sector. This will be achieved by the close collaboration of INTUITEL with LEARNTEC as one of the leading dissemination channels to the education community-of-practice in Europe.
