Evaluation of Software and Architectural Design Requirement Specifications for Developing an Intelligent Tutor System for Learning Computer Networking in Universities in Nigeria

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate software and architectural design requirement specifications for developing an intelligent tutor system (ITS) for learning computer networking. This study adopted survey design with a total population of 73 computer lecturers and 16 software developers. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from lecturers and software developers. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to determine the appropriate software and architectural design requirement specifications for developing a tutor system for learning computer networking. It was observed that the enlisted software and architectural design requirement particularly for students are appropriate for developing an ITS for learning computer networking. Therefore, the proposed intelligent tutor system to be developed will provide and allow computer education students to improve their computer networking knowledge. Thus, improving learners' performance and cognitive development reduce time for the student to acquire skills and knowledge and bridge the gap of face to face interaction between lecturers and students, which will equally improve self-pace learning.

“…En la actualidad, la importancia de la inteligencia artificial en la educación se ha convertido en un tema de investigación clave, con un enfoque en el desarrollo de sistemas educativos más personalizados, conocidos como sistemas de tutoría inteligente (Bernard et al, 2020;Cao et al, 2022;Kadhim y Hassan, 2020). Estos se utilizan en una variedad de campos educativos y han demostrado ser especialmente efectivos con estudiantes universitarios, ya que han mejorado los resultados educativos, han motivado a los estudiantes a continuar su desarrollo y han proporcionado una fuente confiable de información (Alrakhawi et al, 2023).…”
