Developing Teaching Aids for Distance Education

As web-enhanced courses become more successful, they put considerable burdens on instructors and teaching assistants. We present our work on developing software tools to support instructors by A) semi automatic grading of discussions and B) creating instructional tools that handle many student requests. We are using knowledge-based techniques in modelling course components, student queries, and relations between them. The results from our initial analysis in developing such tools are also presented.
