Abstract

A classification of existing types of student models with a view to their diagnostic capabilities and the domain-dependency of their updating mechanisms is made. We propose a synthesis of known techniques to obtain a model of the student's domain knowledge and a model of his individual features which can be used in a wider class of structured domains.
