Abstract
This chapter reports on the general approach taken by recent intelligent tutoring work in Aberdeen. NoteCards was used as a hypertext system to capture domain specific knowledge. The theoretical stance for knowledge acquisition is constructivist.3 Knowledge was distributed over the surface of a hypertext net using concept labels and typed relationships. Deep knowledge was embedded at nodes.
This chapter is an abridged version of the oral presentation atEspinhol. Further details of the research is contained in the IIIKS project documents (MM 110/ Alvey SERC/ MOD; Department of Trade and Industry, London)
From 1 September 1990 Professor Ray McAleese is Director, Institute for Computer Based Learning, Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Notes
There is clear evidence from this project and related work that that an interface to knowledge based systems that shows the nodes and the relationships pictorially encourages users to express their own understandings. (See McAleese, R(1990))
