How does ITS differ from programmed instruction?

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) differ from programmed instruction primarily in their adaptability and interactivity. ITS can tailor the learning experience to individual students' needs by analyzing their performance and providing personalized feedback, while programmed instruction typically follows a fixed sequence of materials and lacks real-time responsiveness. Additionally, ITS often incorporates Artificial Intelligence to simulate a one-on-one tutoring experience, whereas programmed instruction relies on pre-defined scripts and content delivery. This makes ITS more dynamic and effective in addressing diverse learning styles and paces.
