Overview
TutorIT authoring systems come in three varieties: Customizer, EZauthor and AuthorIT. (See AuthorIT for more detail.)
These authoring systems make IT possible to efficiently create intelligent, dynamically adaptive TutorIT tutoring systems.
TutorIT tutoring systems not only react intelligently in real time to learner needs but unique patented technologies make it possible to develop such
systems in a tiny fraction of the time it would take using any other authoring technique.
Based on years of research and technology development, most recently funded by the National Science Foundation, we have made and
patented a major breakthrough in automating the tutoring and authoring processes. Paralleling, even exceeding one-on-one human
tutoring, these technologies go far beyond traditional artificial intelligence (AI). Traditional Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS)
begin by making assumptions about what MIGHT be in human brains, and how that information MIGHT be used. They then try
to make instructional decisions based on this hard to get information. AuthorIT and TutorIT directly address what every student must
learn for success. AuthorIT and TutorIT resulting from this work represent a simpler, more robust authoring and delivery system.

WARNING: Do not confuse TutorIT tutorials with the growing array so so-called adaptive or individualized instructional systems.
These so-called adaptive systems begin with standard diagnostic pretests to identify general areas of strength and weakness.
These test results are then used to prescribe one-size fits all Computer Based Instruction (CBI). Newer "dynamically adaptive learning systems"
based on BIG DATA also miss the point. They adapt learning based on average difficulty not what individual students need to know when they need it for
success. What they all lack is the dynamic human-like interactive character of TutorIT.
