Abstract

The Interaktiv system is a user-model based intelligent tutor for the MS-DOS operating system. The system provides a custom interface according to the domain expertise of the user. User interactions with the system are constantly monitored by the system and `situation sensitive´ help is provided. This is backed up by tutorials and optional quizzes. Multimedia (audio and graphics) has also been incorporated to reinforce textual explanations. Lastly, the whole system, though currently being used for tutoring of MS-DOS, remains entirely domain independent. This increases possibilities of its use in other areas of knowledge which require an adaptable, intelligent tutoring system
