In this paper we show that, with an appropriate component-based architecture, new functionality can be added to an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) with minimal effort. In particular, we show that an explanation function can be added to a component-based ITS which was originally designed to support activity in a learning-by-doing environment. We support these two claims by presenting our recent efforts to extend the Java Algebra Tutor, a variant of the PAT algebra tutor, with a generic example explanation module.
