ECAL: Bridging the gap between CAL and intelligent tutoring systems
Elsom-Cook, M.T.; O'Malley, C.E.
Abstract
In the traditional CAL system the author generates material to be presented by computer, and the computer simply follows the explicit instructions of the author in interacting with a student. Intelligent tutoring systems rely on abstracting the implicit knowledge of a CAL system into explicit separable representations. There is a large gap between these two approaches which ECAL attempts to bridge by incorporating simple versions of ideas from artificial intelligence as extensions to a traditional CAL tool. It can be regarded as an experiment in minimalism in intelligent tutoring but it is also a practical educational tool. This paper introduces some of the authoring issues raised by ECAL, followed by a general view of the architecture of the system, and a discussion of the educational model which is implicit in ECAL. The final sections discuss the ECAL presentation system and the authoring environment.
