What is Self-instructive Spreadsheets: an Environment for Automatic Knowledge Acquisition and Tutor Generation about?

Typically, spreadsheet applications are di$cult to use for casual users (di!erent from developers), mainly because of lack of support. In fact, building a tutoring facility for such applications is a time-consuming task. Our aim is the realization of a tool for the automatic generation of Intelligent Tutors for conventional spreadsheet applications. We have developed a system that works in two steps. In the "rst one, it extracts an explicit representation of the problem-solving pattern coded in a programmed spreadsheet. In the second step, it generates a hypertextual guide and an interactive tutor that can e!ectively support, in the native environment, the casual user of the spreadsheet with the speci"c application it is designed for. We have successfully tested our system on a class of students using an application for budget analysis. 2000 Academic Press
