Abstract
The advent of asynchronous web based learning systems has helped the learner in a self paced, personalized and flexible learning style. It can be even more useful with a supportive synchronous tutorial (question-answer) session. The challenge is to provide sufficient information to the instructor about the learner’s experience in that particular course. In this paper we have designed an automated scaffolding technique to hold these vital information’s about the learner which can be accessed and used by the instructor in the synchronous tutorial session to make the system more adaptive.
