Intelligent Tutoring Systems

The international conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems ITS-92 held in Montreal in June 1992 is the second in the series, following the success of ITS-88 held in Montrel in 1988. This proceedings volume contains 72 papers selected by the ITS-92 program committee from 160 papers submitted. They are preceded by six invited lectures from renowned speakers. Each paper was reviewed by at least three referees. The papers cover a wide range of subjects including: learning environments, architecture for ITS, kinowldge representation in ITS, cognitive models, help and advising systems, formal models, empirical studies, student modeling, teaching and learning strategies, software tools for tutoring, design issues, alternatives to one-on-one tutoring, and real world applications.
