Architecting an Intelligent Tutoring System with an Affective Dialogue Module

The use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems has become more common in autodidactic education. There is significant work about the integration of the dialogue and affective characteristics to these systems. However, this integration could complicate the Intelligent Tutoring Systems structure. For that reason it is important to take care about architectural view of these systems, in order to organize the modular structure of these systems. Moreover, the architecture is an important element from the perspective of Software Engineering because it is a logical core of any software system. Based on this, in this paper we present a system called TIPOO, which our implementation of an intelligent tutoring system. Also we present the integration of an affective dialogue module (TIPOO Chat) into TIPOO. We describe the architecture of both systems. The design and implementation of these systems are described, looking forward making the development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems an easier, faster and standardized process.
