Flexible, dynamic user interfaces for Web-delivered training

One of the critical parts of a tutoring system is its user interface (UI), which must neither constrain an author in developing lessons, nor impede a student during practice. A system providing training over the Web must also address issues of interface transport, providing feedback and managing local context. We have developed a system, MUSE, that applies a model-based technology to address the above requirements. It supports a wide range of interface styles. Resulting Uls can be customized and capture enough application semantics to provide local feedback and manage the context required for evaluating a student's work and providing coaching.
