An adapted virtual class based on intelligent tutoring system and agent approaches

The paper describes a virtual class, which is based on the principles of ITS (intelligent tutoring systems). The virtual class allows a group of learners to participate in training sessions of an adapted teleteaching system (adapted virtual class); this system takes into account different progression rhythms in a community of remote learners. The virtual class allows adapting of the teaching system in a flexible, individual, and collective way. Agent-oriented modeling is used to specify and implement the architecture of adaptable virtual classes. The implementation of virtual class is being developed in a distance education context using reactive agents, Internet and Java
