Project GoalsOriginal IMITS

• Create a system which acts as a students
  individual tutor
• Develop an intelligent tutoring system framework
  upon which other tutoring systems may be
  structured
• PLUSThe student should have complete freedom of
  choice how to solve the problem.
• The expert system does not control the student

3
Project GoalsExtended IMITS

• Apply the IMITS Prototype to four courses
• Incorporate the Virtual Laboratory into the
  finished product
• Beta-Test Software at 6-10 Universities and
  Community Colleges
• Evaluate and Modify Package
• Distribute Nationally at the End of the Project
