Abstract

We present teaching concerns, a domain-independent mechanism for controlling the content and form of automated teaching interactions. Concerns represent commonsense teaching requirements such as challenging a student. Concerns have been implemented in Tapper, a newsystem for musical ear training. We describe and give real examples of concerns in action within Tapper. We claim that this approach produces sensible and explicable individualised interactions within a loosely structured curriculum.

This work was mostly carried out while the first author was working at the Division of Informatics University of Edinburgh. The second author is now working in the Accessibility Research group, IBM T J Watson Research Center. Correspondence should be addressed to the first author.
