An architecture for the dynamic adaptation of an intelligent multi-tutoring system

The articulation between machine tutoring and human tutoring remains a productive research within in the context of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), particularly in the context of e-learning where the dropout rate is high. We explore an innovative approach, the automation of tutoring as it is done in the classroom to respond to the difficulties of the learner. We propose a generic Intelligent Multi-Tutoring System (IMTS) architecture composed of two modules COMES and MAT. The Communication Entry Service (COMES) module manages communications between the IMTS and a Learning Management System (LMS). The module Multi-Agent Tutoring (MAT) is the multi-agent system developed with JADE, which allows the dynamic adaptation of tutoring (Machine, Peer, Teacher) according to the profile of the learner. We offer a configurable system to customize tutoring to the individual needs of each learner. It can be grafted onto any learning platform, making it multidisciplinary and easy to integrate into existing learning environments. The teacher will be able to devote more time to learners which need greater his intervention.The peer will develop human and relational qualities linked to their know-how, transversal skills sought by recruiters. To validate this architecture, we provide an application and results that integrate the elements of the described model. The results of the experiment prove the feasibility and reliability of our approach.
