Artificial Intelligence and Education, Volume One (Book)

Volume One - Learning Environments and Tutoring Systems

The second international conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education was held in September, 19851 at Exeter University, United Kingdom.The two years marking the period to the third conference at the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh, USA, have witnessed significant growth in the research community associated with this topic. The 1985 conference ended with the exciting prospect of the 'coming together' of the two traditional streams of 'tutoring systems' and 'learning environments' to address common problems in the design of instructional systems from an Artificial Intelligence perspective. This volume marks the beginning of a synergy between the agendas of the various researchers which promises an interesting and pro-
ductive future.

Personally, we are both gratified to witness the willingness of scientists from Europe, the Pacific, the Americas, and other parts of the world to share their work and ideas. Such cooperation is especially important for a field whose thrust is directed toward human development. Even more so is this true today, when the technologies of information are increasingly seen as a primary arena for commercial competition.
