Resumen
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have potential for making computer-based instruction moreadaptive and interactive, but development in the area of manufacturing engineering has been rare.However, recent developments in the area of ITS authoring tools may make this technology moreaccessible. The objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate the feasibility of faculty coursedevelopment using an ITS authoring tool; and 2) evaluate the instructional effectiveness of thedeveloped courseware. An ITS authoring tool called XAIDA was used to develop a tutorial on howto use a computer numerical control (CNC) machine. This paper summarizes the results of apreliminary evaluation conducted with 25 undergraduate manufacturing engineering students. Theresults suggest that instructional development in XAIDA is feasible and quick, and that studentslearned from and enjoyed the tutorial
