Domains in which traditional approaches for building tutoring systems are not applicable or do not work well have been termed “ill-defined domains.” This chapter provides an updated overview of the problems and solutions for building intelligent tutoring systems for these domains. It adopts a presentation based on the following three complementary and important perspectives: the characteristics of ill-defined domains, the approaches to represent and reason with domain knowledge in these domains, and suitable teaching models. Numerous examples are given throughout the chapter to illustrate the discussion.
