These operations can be performed efficiently by normalizing the database. By normalization, the tables in a database are organized in a well-structured manner that reduces the generation of redundant data as well as ensures that the data dependencies make sense, i.e., all the functional dependencies are satisfied. It is observed that students find it difficult to understand the concepts of normal forms while learning a Database Management Course and also they find it difficult to obtain smaller well-structured relations by applying normalization concept. Very few commercial design tools are available to assist students in learning Normalization. Consequence is a big challenge for educators, in both, teaching as well as motivating students in learning Data Base Design. Keeping in mind all these aspects, we decided to develop an intelligent tutor, which will teach users...

The purpose of ITS is to help users to acquire knowledge and skills in the respective domain. ITS is able to learn as it interprets the responses from students. These student responses are very complex. They are able to identify where the student understanding has deviated from the correct solution and why the student has made a mistake. ITS can offer hints to help the student in understanding the material presented to them. ITS enables the users to practice their skills by solving tasks in a highly interactive learning environment. To provide such capabilities, these systems must be able to represent the knowledge effectively. In ITS, the knowledge is stored in one of its component named as the domain model. Thus, for a designer it is important to select an appropriate technique for knowledge representation to build an effective ITS.
