This paper presents the design and development of intelligent tutoring system for teaching Oracle. The Oracle Intelligent Tutoring System (OITS) examined the power of a new methodology to supporting students in Oracle programming. The system presents the topic of Introduction to Oracle with automatically generated problems for the students to solve. The system is dynamically adapted at run time to the student’s individual progress. An initial evaluation study was done to investigate the effect of using the intelligent tutoring system on (...) the performance of students. (shrink)

An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is a computer system that offers an instant, adapted instruction and customized feedback to students without human teacher interference. Reciting "Tajweed" the Holy Quran in the appropriate way is very important for all Muslims and is obligatory in Islamic devotions such as prayers. In this paper, the researchers introduce an intelligent tutoring system for teaching Reciting "Tajweed". Our "Tajweed" tutoring system is limited to "Tafkhim and Tarqiq in TAJWEED" the Holy Quran, Rewaya: Hafs from ‘Aasem. (...) The system was evaluated by reciting teachers and students, and the results were auspicious. (shrink)

In this paper, a prototype of a Decision Support System (DSS) is proposed for providing the knowledge for optimizing the newly adopted e-learning education strategy in educational institutions. If an educational institution adopted e-learning as a new strategy, it should undertake a preliminary evaluation to determine the percentage of success and areas of weakness of this strategy. If this evaluation is done manually, it would not be an easy task to do and would not provide knowledge about all pitfall symptoms. (...) The proposed DSS is based on exploration (mining) of knowledge from large amounts of data yielded from the operating the institution to its business. This knowledge can be used to guide and optimize any new business strategy implemented by the institution. The proposed DSS involves Database engine, Data Mining engine and Artificial Intelligence engine. All these engines work together in order to extract the knowledge necessary to improve the effectiveness of any strategy, including e-learning. (shrink)
