I was going to pass on this - but then: wait a second, tools for building tutors? Mark Guzdial writes, "The Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT) that the CMU folks have built are amazingly cool! They've built Java and Flash versions, but the Flash version is actually totally generic. Using a socket-based interface, the CTAT for Flash tool can observe behavior to construct a graph of potential student actions, which can labeled with hints, structure for success/failure paths, made ordered/unordered, and made generic with formulas. The tool can also be used for creating general rule-based tutors. CTAT really is a general tutoring engine that can be integrated into just about any kind of computational activity."
