Abstract
In this paper the design and implementation of an Intelligent Tutoring System will be described (ESPRIT BRA IDEAL, Interactive Dialogues for Explanation And Learning 3). A special attention will be given on the explanation strategy selection mechanism, which allows the system to provide explanation about a particular domain to a user, in a most cooperative way. The advantages provided by the particular context in which the interaction takes place (namely, one of tutoring), allows the developer to use techniques and devices which showed to be particularly efficient respect to other manmachine interaction systems.
