Xu, Wei; Zhao, Ke; Li, Yatao; Yi, Zhenzhen – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2012
Determining how to provide good tutoring functions is an important research direction of intelligent tutoring systems. In this study, the authors develop an intelligent tutoring system with good tutoring functions, called "FUDAOWANG." The research domain that FUDAOWANG treats is junior middle school mathematics, which belongs to the objective…
