This study adopted survey design with a total population of 73 computer lecturers and 16 software developers. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from lecturers and software developers. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to determine the appropriate software and architectural design requirement specifications for developing a tutor system for learning computer networking. It was observed that the enlisted software and architectural design requirement particularly for students are appropriate for developing an ITS for learning computer networking. Therefore, the proposed intelligent tutor system to be developed will provide and allow computer education students to improve their computer networking knowledge. Thus, improving learners’ performance and cognitive development reduce time for the student to acquire skills and knowledge and bridge the gap of face to face interaction between lecturers and students, which will equally improve self-pace learning.

Introduction The development of intelligent tutor system is growing very rapidly and this is one of the reasons why the system and architectural requirement specifications are very important to be considered and develop massively (Rabiman, Muhammad, Nur, 2020). As more instruction moves online, to offer learning resources to distance learning students or to offer asynchronous education at the learner’s point of needs (Ariel, 2020). It is essential to attend to the needs of the learners and the varying needs of the whole students by taking the system and architectural requirement specifications into consideration (Ali & İsmail, 2020). Furthermore, a lot of innovative learning software are in place, like tutoring system that provides instructions to learners at anytime and anywhere (Viberg and Grönlund 2017); digital game-based training system that motivates
