An Interactive Instructional System for Living-body Circulatory Physiology Based on Intelligent Tutoring Architecture

Abstract

This paper proposes an interactive instructional method of human-body circulatory physiology including artificial heart control based on intelligent tutoring architecture. We use Coleman's dynamic model Human, which consists of 25 physiological modules and covers standard circulatory physiological knowledge. This tutoring system deals with causal relation among variables in the Human model, and discusses with student about the reason for increase or decrease of variables in accordance with dialogue strategy and student model.
