In this paper we describe an approach to the construction of adaptive tutoring systems, based on techniques from the research area of Reasoning about Actions and Change. This approach leads to the implementation of a prototype system, having a multi-agent architecture, whose kernel is a set of rational agents, programmed in the logic programming language DyLOG. In the prototype that we implemented the reasoning capabilities of the agents are exploited both to dynamically build study plans and to verify the correctness of user-given study plans with respect to the competence that the user wants to acquire.
