This article focuses on contributions that AI can make to address long-term educational goals. It describes five challenges that would support: (1) mentors for every learner; (2) learning twenty-first century skills; (3) interaction data to support learning; (4) universal access to global classrooms; and (5) lifelong and life-wide learning. A vision and brief research agenda are described for each challenge along with goals that lead to access to global educational resources and the reuse and…

AI and Education: Celebrating 30 Years of Marriage
TLDR
Two challenges in education that require the use of AI are articulated: personalizing teaching and learning 21st century skills and why AI is invaluable to development of instructional systems.
A mentor for every student: One challenge for instructional software
TLDR
Two promising approaches for using digital instruction to personalize teaching are described and MathSpring is described as an example online tutor that has made contributions to both research areas, based on several years of experimentation and real-world experience.
Revolution by Evolution
This chapter will discuss the development of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) for education in the last decade and will trace the challenges they meet. The author will examine the social and…
An Analysis Of Personalized Learning Systems For Navy Training And Education Settings
Abstract : The U.S. Navy employs a single approach to education and training in virtually all of its schoolhouses and learning environments. This one size fits all system is dated and inefficient,…
Cognitive Prosthetics for Fostering Learning: A View from the Learning Sciences
TLDR
The thesis is that new technologies have potential to transform possibilities for fostering learning in both formal and informal learning environments by making it possible and manageable for learners to engage in the kinds of project work that professionals engage in and learn important content, skills, practices, habits, and dispositions from those experiences.
Artificial Intelligence Technology to Help Students With Disabilities
This chapter reviews current and future artificial intelligence (AI) to meet the needs of numerous students with special learning requirements. The current AI technology and AIEd Models are explored…
Artificial Intelligence and the Student Experience: An Institutional Perspective
The paper outlines the potential for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to positively impact student success. This will be approached from a student life-cycle perspective, taking an integrated view of the…
Towards Sharing Student Models Across Learning Systems
Modern AIED systems develop sophisticated and multidimensional models of students. However, what is learned about students in one system— their skills, behaviors, and affect—is not carried over to…
A Patterns Based Approach for Design of Educational Technologies
TLDR
The notion of Pattern-Oriented Instructional Design (POID) is presented as a way to model instructional design as a connection of patterns and integrate it with Pattern- Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) based on fundamental principles in software engineering.
Artificial Intelligence :, A Prospective Or Real Option For Education
TLDR
It is concluded that AI could play an instrumental role by developing a digital curriculum, automating basic educational activities, and adopting Chat-bot related Apps.

Inventing to Prepare for Future Learning: The Hidden Efficiency of Encouraging Original Student Production in Statistics Instruction
TLDR
Two studies on teaching descriptive statistics to 9th-grade students examined whether invention activities may prepare students to learn found that invention activities, when coupled with subsequent learning resources like lectures, led to strong gains in procedural skills, insight into formulas, and abilities to evaluate data from an argument.
Digital Technologies and Their Role in Achieving Our Ambitions for Education
Educational policy aims are very ambitious: from pre-school to lifelong learning they demand improvements in both quantity and quality, which are multiplicative in their effects on teaching workload.…
Scaling Up Programming by Demonstration for Intelligent Tutoring Systems Development: An Open-Access Web Site for Middle School Mathematics Learning
TLDR
This project investigates whether the process of authoring an ITS can be simplified, while at the same time maintaining the characteristics that make ITS effective, and also maintaining the ability to support large-scale tutor development.
