Dear Dr.Eklund and IFETS Members,

others at IFETS Forum, Hi from Dortmund, Germany. Though, I am extremely
busy in my research work, I have already followed your discussions very
closely. I have gained a lot from this lists.

I think John, you are right, there are many instructional technologists
here, but I would like to request you that, have you discussed this paper
at ITFORUM Listservs?

The Model of Individualised Instruction. Because web based instruction is
very complex technology.

Nice piece of questions above John:-)
All the above questions signify that, there is a link between the learner
and web. As you have described in of your question, that How can student
knowledge be represented in an *Intelligent System*?, I would like to know
here What is the level of student knowledge? You are mentioning web based
technology as Intelligent Systems.
