Abstract

In this work we focus on the issue of providing individual help to students in terms of hints. Once a student is suggested to solve a problem via an intelligence tutoring system an immediate question arises on how to provide automated assistance if the student experiences some difficulties in solving that problem. While hints turn out to be quite useful in that matter, the discussion on how to deliver them is still open.
