✦ Synopsis
The field of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) is steadily developing, with scant attention from the field of artificial intelligence (AI) at large. One of the reasons for this lack of attention is that publications on ITS must address two different audiences: educational technologists and AI researchers. Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Lessons Learned is primarily oriented toward educational technologists, and describes research projects most of which are in the process of development. A reader seeking a broad understanding of the accomplishments of ITS, and its relationship to AI, may have trouble with this book and some other new books are suggested instead. However, this book does address some important issues that are of general interest to AI researchers, and which are are not adequately described in other current books. This review identifies some of the key results of ITS to date, compares this book to other books and identifies some particular areas of contribution to AI described in the book.
