Abstract

Most effective human tutors possess the skill of adaptive sequencing of knowledge and tasks. This skill is also the key function of many important tutoring systems and learning environments. A number of workers in the field of intelligent tutoring systems have tried to build a framework for intelligent knowledge and task sequencing. In this paper we briefly discuss previous work on building a framework and strategies for knowledge and task sequencing. Then we suggest several additional components we have designed to complete the framework and describe a pragmatic strategy for multiple-kind, multiple-concept task sequencing based upon the framework.
