The Common Tutor Object Platform (CTOP) was designed as a
lightweight component framework for creating and deploying
applications relating to Intelligent Tutoring Systems. The CTOP
supports a runtime for intelligent tutoring system content
deployment, a content development environment, an extensive
reporting tool, and other smaller applications. The CTOP was
designed with future development in mind, allowing easy
specification of new base objects and extension points for future
development. It has been used as the foundation of the
Assistments Project, a wide scale server based ITS deployment.
This thesis documents the software engineering aspects of the
project. The Assistments Project is capable of supporting a
quarter of targeted students in Massachusetts, and optimistically
scalable to the entire state and beyond.
