15. WEB BASED EXPERT SYSTEMS TO REPRESENT THE PROFESSOR'S EXPERIENCE IN ENGINEERING COURSES ONLINE This type of courses seeks to simulate the role of the teacher as a guide, and that strategies are developed leveraging the IT. The WBES are an interesting alternative to represent the teacher's expertise The idea presented in this paper can be applied to engineering education in those fields where the teacher's experience in solving problems is fundamental.
