Abstract
On-line academic advising is an integral part of web-mediated teaching and learning that has become popular among colleges and universities around the world. Such on-line academic advising can also complement traditional teaching environment. WWW delivered advising system has been described in this paper. It has been developed using Exsys CORVID™ professional expert system shell for its capabilities related to system development and product deployment. Advising website delivers decision making knowledge and customized recommendations to students through an interactive interface. The system interacts with students by emulating conversation with human advisor. Exsys CORVID's user interface features are used to collect student's data and to display the result of the application of knowledge base to user input data.
