Special Issue of IJAIED
ADAPTIVE AND INTELLIGENT WEB-BASED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS
-----------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
Web-based educational systems form one of the fastest growing areas in
educational technology research and development. Benefits of Web-based
education are independence of teaching and learning with respect to
time and space. Courseware installed and maintained in one place may be
used by a huge number of users all over the world. A challenging
research goal is the development of more adaptive and more intelligent
Web-based educational systems (W-AIES) that cam provide a new level of
learning support for the students worldwide.
Adaptivity with respect to navigation support and presentation helps
students to locate and comprehend relevant course material. Intelligent
problem solving support and error explanation facilities support their
work with assignments. Adaptive collaboration support tools find most
the relevant helper or collaborator. These are just a few examples
implemented in a number of research systems that show how a learner may
benefit from adaptive and intelligent technologies.
The problems of adaptive and intelligent Web-based educational systems
have been discussed in the past at several focused workshops at AIED'97
(http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~plb/AIED97_workshop/), ITS'98
(http://www-aml.cs.umass.edu/~stern/webits/itsworkshop/) and more
recently at ITS'2000 (http://virtcampus.cl-ki.uni-osnabrueck.de/its-2000/)
and AH'2000 conferences (http://AH2000.itc.it/). The purpose of this
special issue is to bring to a wider audience the advances, insights
and problems of this field and show how it has matured in the last
few years. Papers proposed for the collection should make a clear
statement about the use of adaptive and intelligent techniques with
application to web-based education. Topics of interest for the special
issue include :
- adaptive curriculum sequencing in Web-based educational systems
- intelligent problem solving support via the Web
- adaptive presentation and navigation support for Web-based education
- adaptive collaboration support via the Web
- Web-based ITS
- Web-based adaptive testing
- authoring tools for developing adaptive and intelligent educational
systems on the Web
- empirical studies of Web-based adaptive and intelligent educational systems
- intelligent technologies for large-scale Web-based education
- architectiures for adaptive and intelligent Web-based educational systems
- student modeling and student model servers in the Web context
All papers will be refereed according to standard IJAIED procedures and
should be submitted to the IJAIED editor in the normal way (see the
'author guidelines' at http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/ijaied/).
The deadline for submissions is FEBRUARY 1ST 2001. However, if you are
planning to submit a paper, we encourage you to contact the Guest
Editors as early as possible. The Editors will be able to answer your
questions and concerns and provide some information that will help you
to develop a more successful submission.
