Abstract
General tutoring system model, presented in previous chapter, can be used as a skeleton for an implementation of concrete programming tutoring system. This chapter presents details about implementation of Java programing course based on defined model. Protus 2.1 is a tutoring system designed to provide learners with personalized courses from various domains. It is an interactive system that allows learners to use teaching material prepared for appropriate courses and also includes parts for testing acquired knowledge. In spite of the fact that this system is designed and implemented as a general tutoring system, the first completely implemented and tested version was for an introductory Java programming course. This chapter presents the most important requests for implementation of personalization options in e-learning environments, as well as design, architecture and interface of Protus 2.1 system. Details about previous versions of the system, defined user requirements for the new version of the system, architecture details, as well as general principles for application of defined general tutoring model for implementation of programming course in Protus 2.1 are presented.
