Abstract
In this paper we present an overview of the architectural design of the BiTutor which is a Bayesian Intelligent Tutoring System. This is an on-going research whose final goal is to build an open Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). Every component of the architecture has its own strategies and tools that makes it intelligent. This makes the entire system posses adaptive capabilities. The design includes web-based distributed architecture, AI techniques used and programmer-optimized user interface. It is hypothesized that the completed prototype will be sufficient to prove the concept. A fully developed BiTutor will provide an interactively-rich learning environment for students that will result in increased achievement.
