The developed architectureopens the door for more participation from teachers and instructors in developing their owncourses using ITSs and hence for more conviction with ITSs’ role in education.1- IntroductionIt is known that the development of any applied ITS is an extremely difficult and complexproblem. This is because most of the developers start their ITSs from scratch, and thereforethey have to build all of its complex parts, which take great effort and long time. In general,applied ITSs are developed on the basis of preliminary elaborated Expert Systems (ES) in thedomain under study. These ES model the processes of problem solving in certain
