Abstract :
The paper describes the prototype of an interactive tutoring system. The prototype enables a Malay monolingual user to generate computer-based tutorials without any programming knowledge, serves as a multiple domain tutor to English monolingual users who are learning Malay, and the prototype also incorporates an English-Malay translation ability. Based on reviews of previous work, such features are usually incorporated separately in different systems and applications. Therefore, the primary goal of the paper is to describe an experiment which investigates the feasibility of integrating these features into one common platform. The implementation of the prototype is based on paradigms of a flexible and interactive user interface, and natural language processing
