Abstract: The paper presents an approach in solving problems pertinent to intelligent tutoring in the Semantic Web/Web 2.0 environments within the Tutor-Expert System (TEx-Sys) model, an evolving series of ITSs that our group has been developing for the last 15 years, following all web technology generations being used in this period. We describe the way in which contemplating the system as a multi-agent system functioning over the common information space enables solving the problems, additionally extending intelligent tutoring through the mobile, collaborative and social dimensions in the Semantic Web and Web 2.0 environments.

Keywords: intelligent tutoring systems; ITS; semantic web; web 2.0; mobile learning; m-learning; agent-based systems; multi-agent systems; MAS.
