A Comprehensive Information Based Variable-Size Model for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

To implement intelligent macro-level learning arrangement in intelligent tutoring systems, a variable-size model of control architecture was proposed based on comprehensive information theory(CIT), which describes an consolidated information model of pragmatic, semantic and grammatical information. The three aspects in CIT correspond orderly to the learning arrangement level, content interaction level and form level in our variable-size model. An intelligent tutoring system was then implemented. The evaluation of our test among 14 students shows that the system has sufficient intelligence in adapting the holistic learning process.
