Abstract

Computers have proved to be an effective teaching tool for science education. Developments in the field of computer graphics have made it possible to communicate information visually and expedite the process of learning abstract concepts. This paper presents the design of a graphical user interface to an intelligent tutoring system and discusses its use, not only as a user-friendly screen manager but also as a visualization tool to convey information about the domain of learning. The authors also propose some experiments with different versions of the interface, to answer questions about how domain visualization may affect learning
