N2 - Authoring the domain knowledge of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is a well-known problem, and an often-mentioned approach is to use authors who are domain experts. Unfortunately, this approach requires that potential authors learn to write and debug knowledge written in a formal knowledge representation language. If authors were able to use natural language to represent knowledge it would allow them to add and update knowledge far more easily. In this paper, the design of such an authoring system, 'Natural-K' is presented. Natural-K is an authoring system in which domain authors including non-programmers are able to add problem statements and background knowledge such as commonsense, in natural language.
