Artificial intelligence techniques in an e-learning environment for IT engineering projects

The design of an e-learning environment for user training in the execution of engineering projects on information technologies is presented here. Several research works claim that one of the reasons why projects fail is the lack of training of the people taking part in them. The design of the proposed e-learning environment integrates two techniques of artificial intelligence, i.e.: Intelligent tutoring systems and case-based reasoning. The results showed significant advantages when including these two techniques, specifically in the cognitive followup of the users.
