The paper outlines an interactive problem‐solving system based, to an extent, on constructivism. It takes the prior knowledge of students into account and allows them to initiate and control the interaction. The rationale for the program and the methods used to obtain the data informing the program development are detailed. Insight into the program is provided through a discussion of its features and internal structure. The program evaluation which was done through students using it for the solution of two problems and through student feedback using questionnaires and interviews, shows the potential and the need for an expansion of the system.
