Abstract

Asking questions is an important help-seeking behavior that many intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) do not use. Allowing learners to ask questions of an ITS has the potential to improve learning and also to provide a new source of input for ITSs' internal models. In this paper, the different ways an ITS can input questions, answer them, and then use them to update its student model are discussed. A taxonomy of question response for model-based learning environments is proposed, and inquiry modeling, a new framework to let learners ask questions of an ITS with more freedom than existing methods, is described. Inquiry modeling is being developed and tested in a popular military training simulation, the DVTE-CAN. © 2010 SCS.
