Abstract
An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is characterized by its provision of customized and immediate instructions to students. This paper reviews the development of a Sudoku ITS on mobile devices, with a focus on the technical challenges and students' experience. It is revealed that, although mobile devices offer the flexibility of learning anywhere and anytime, the small display and limited processing power and storage pose the challenges on algorithm design and user interface design. To address these challenges, a thin client with a neat user interface, connecting to an external database is used. The Sudoku ITS has received positive feedback from students. The customized and immediate instructions could effectively help students acquire skills and develop strategies in puzzle solving. It is suggested to make adjustments on the threshold of auto-instruction to cope with the needs of experienced players. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
