COMMUNITIES OF EXPERTS ARE NEEDED TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR ARTICULATING DISTRIBUTED KNOWLEDGE IN AN INTELLIGENT TUTOR. THE RESULTANT MACHINE TUTOR SHOULD INCLUDE RECENT AS WELL AS HISTORICAL RESEARCH ABOUT THINKING, TEACH- ING, AND LEARNING IN THE DOMAIN. EVALUATING SUCH AN ARTICULATION WOULD, IN ITSELF, CONTRIBUTE TO EDUCATION---AND ULTIMATELY TO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EXPERTS. COMPILING DIVERSE RESEARCH RESULTS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL, TEACHING, COGNI- TIVE, AND DOMAIN EXPERTS IS CURRENTLY HAMPERED BY LACK OF EXPLICIT TOOLS TO HELP AUTHORS TRANSFER THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO A SYSTEM. BASED ON CRITERIA SET OUT ABOVE, WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIS- ITION TOOLS TO FACILITATE ASSIMILATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING KNOWLEDGE INTO INTELLIGENT TUTORS.
