Hello. I posted a request for information about intelligent tutoring systems a couple of weeks ago. Most of the responses I received were from people who would also like such information; there seems to be a lot of interest in this subject out there. I didn't get anything as specific as an ftp address, but I did get a few hints; unfortunately, I haven't had time to pursue them this week. Here's a summary of what I did get: If no-one else has suggested it - there is a review of various ITS's in the book: `Artificial Intelligence and Turoring Systems' by Etienne Wenger, 1987 Published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc 95 First Street Los Altos, California, 94022 (From: munnari!munmurra.cs.mu.OZ.AU!richard@uunet.uu.net (Richard Hagen)) I believe a company in San Diego called Park Row Software or something like that might have what your looking for. The man to look for is Greg Kearsly. (From: jwk%beta@lanl.gov (John W. Keller)) For my masters degree project, I developed a tutoring system for pedigrees - with just a very brief introduction to genetics. My system runs on MACs with HyperCard. You might want to check at Princeton....I know that they're developing graphical LISP tutoring systems. (From: "Adrienne Lee" <lee_a@clipr.colorado.edu>) Try Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium. Radio Shack educational software has something called Pilot. Check with your own education dept. There's always PLATO from Control Data. (From: novy@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Peter Novy)) The LISP tutor, developed by John Anderson's group at CMU is available from ACT, Inc. I'm not sure of the current e-mail address of ACT, Inc. but John Anderson's address is anderson@psy.cmu.edu. (From: katzanza@aa.cs.keio.ac.jp (Irvin Katzanza)) Th-th-that's all, folks! If I do come up with a free, simple demo kind of thing, I'll let you all know. Heidi
