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.
Highlights
The development of intelligent tutor system is growing very rapidly and this is one of the reasons why the system and architectural requirement specifications are very important to be considered and develop massively (Rabiman, Muhammad, Nur, 2020)
In the context of this study, finding from the preliminary study conducted on assessment of computer networking needs of students of computer education and industrial technical education for improving academic performance in Nigeria Universities (Onah, Ezenma, Ariyo, Jimoh, Omeje, Okereke, Ogbonna, Ogbu and Mukoro, 2020) revealed that lecturers have not been using an intelligent tutor system in Universities in Nigeria for teaching and learning computer networking
The study revealed that students need intelligent tutor system (ITS) that will provide self-pace learning and improve their academic performance on computer networking course
Summary
The development of intelligent tutor system is growing very rapidly and this is one of the reasons why the system and architectural requirement specifications are very important to be considered and develop massively (Rabiman, Muhammad, Nur, 2020). In the context of this study, finding from the preliminary study conducted on assessment of computer networking needs of students of computer education and industrial technical education for improving academic performance in Nigeria Universities (Onah, Ezenma, Ariyo, Jimoh, Omeje, Okereke, Ogbonna, Ogbu and Mukoro, 2020) revealed that lecturers have not been using an intelligent tutor system in Universities in Nigeria for teaching and learning computer networking. The study revealed that students need ITS that will provide self-pace learning and improve their academic performance on computer networking course. This study is aimed at evaluating the software and architectural design requirement specifications for developing an intelligent tutor system for learning computer networking. The study tends to: determine the software administrators’ functional requirements for developing an intelligent tutor system, the architecture user case design requirement specifications for developing an intelligent tutor system and the students’ learning content requirements for developing an intelligent tutor system for learning computer networking
