HKDA — Design pattern system architecture

Software Design Patterns (DPs) have been recognized as very important and useful in real software development since they provide an elegant way of getting around problems that often occur. Researcher has built an ITS known as Human Knowledge Discovery Agent System-HKDA, which provides adaptive learning environment for the students by providing personalized instructions. The HKDA System makes inferences about student knowledge and interacts intelligently with students based upon individual representations of their knowledge. The design pattern system architecture of HKDA consists of eight main components. In this research, researchers are going to discuss about Student Modeller and Pedagogical Module. However, to provide a clear idea about design patterns, a small description about other components such as Domain Knowledge/Domain Model, Knowledge Management, Student Knowledge-base, Presentation Planner, Pedagogical Experts and Communication Knowledge are also given.
