Key
problems in our area:
- How to build effective Intelligent Tutoring systems
that significantly raise student achievement compared to more traditional
instructional methods?
- How can we build user models that allow us to track
student learning better?
- How can we make it easier and less costly for people to
build intelligent tutoring systems?
- How can we apply intelligent tutoring to cooperative
learning situations?
