Abstract :
The authors describe a tutoring system that can be used to develop intelligent computer-assisted courseware without any previous programming experience. It can make a computer play the role of tutor or consultant. The lessons are interactive, so students get immediate feedback on their answers. The system has a built-in expert system which can be created and updated by instructors. It allows students to ask questions if they need help. It prepares and updates a student´s `profile´. Graphics can be used to give a clearer picture of objects and lesson ideas. The design methodology of the authoring language is discussed
