The links provide stimulus to the user to know more about a particular topic. System works more as a friendly librarian and learning depends on the initiative of a student.; TLTP Byzantium has used symbolic representations to explain the concepts by taking advantages of precise and concise mathematical notations. Various features of the approach are: Bottom-up approach No centralised knowledge Each Intelligent Tutoring Tool (ITT) is free standing;The Byzantium principles;The Byzantium principles;Knowledge levels;Mixed-initiative systems All the knowledge is stored in two-fold knowledge base Not intended to replace the human tutor, but to supplement To be mixed and matched with other technologies (e.g. video) Suitable for various configurations such as classroom, open and distance learning;A network of inter-related variables where the whole network remains constant. Example, partial network of 7 out of a total of 14 variables in marginal costing.;Marginal costing relationships;Student-ITT Interaction;Granularity Negotiation;Structure of an ITT;Tutoring Strategy of an ITT;Feedback from tutoring module;Evaluation;Evaluation: Student Feedback;Evaluation: Student Feedback;Future: Integrating the ITTs;Integrating the ITTs;
