Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Volume 11 - Professional Career Education
Author: Anne Sinatra
Publisher: U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Soldier Center
ISBN: 0997725850
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems series has covered many different topics over the past ten years. Those topics have ranged from general components of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) (Learner Modeling, Instructional Management, Authoring Tools, Domain Modeling) to advanced elements (Assessment Methods, Team Tutoring, Self-Improving Systems, Data Visualization, Competency Based-Scenario Design). Our most recent previous volume included a series of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analyses on all the initial topics as well as overviews of ITSs in general and the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) software (Sottilare et al., 2012; Sottilare et al., 2017; Goldberg & Sinatra, 2023). Each book in the Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems series has been associated with an Expert Workshop on the same topic. These workshops are part of a cooperative agreement (W911NF18-2-0039) between US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center and University of Memphis. One of the goals of the expert workshops is to learn more about ITS capabilities that are being developed, and how these approaches, as well as lessons learned, could enhance the GIFT software (GIFT is freely available at https://www.GIFTtutoring.org). Invited experts in industry, academia, and government discuss the expert workshop topic, their applicable work, and suggestions for improving GIFT in what is usually a two day event. Both the University of Memphis and GIFT Teams participate in the workshop, help to guide discussion, and ask questions that will provide insight into current challenges in GIFT. The expert workshop associated with this current book was held virtually in October 2022, and included presentations about both general approaches and specific applications to professional education in ITSs. Additionally, the University of Memphis team that participated in the workshop included Arthur C. Graesser, Xiangen Hu, Vasile Rus, and Jody Cockroft. The US Army DEVCOM Soldier Center team who participated in the workshop included Benjamin Goldberg, Gregory Goodwin, Anne M. Sinatra, Randall Spain, and Lisa N. Townsend. The current volume and the expert workshop that was associated with it, branched out in a new direction and rather than addressing specific components of an ITS or types of features/approaches that could be included in ITSs, it focused on how to apply an ITS for specific types of training. The specific focus was on ITSs for Professional Career Education. This topic area was selected, as in general, ITS research tends to be focused on K-12 or college education, and in many cases on domains such as algebra or physics. However, for the military, and for industry, trainees are adult learners and domains tend to be more active, applied, and experiential. This workshop provided an opportunity for discussion of specific examples of applied training that occurs with ITSs, as well as discussion of general approaches and considerations for applied professional education in ITSs.

Pages : 334
Book Description
GIFT is a free, modular, open-source tutoring architecture that is being developed to capture best tutoring practices and support rapid authoring, reuse and interoperability of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). The authoring tools have been designed to lower costs and entry skills needed to author ITSs and our research continues to seek and discover ways to enhance the adaptiveness of ITSs to support self-regulated learning (SRL). This year marks the sixth year of GIFT Symposia and we accepted 30 papers for publication in this year’s proceedings.

Proceedings of the Second Annual GIFT Users Symposium
Author: Dr. Robert Sottilare
Publisher: US Army Research Laboratory
ISBN: 0989392341
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book contains the proceedings of the second annual Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) Users Symposium conducted in June 2014 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. GIFT, the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring, is a modular, service-oriented architecture developed to lower the skills and time needed to author effective adaptive training. Design goals for GIFT also include capturing best instructional practices, promoting standardization and reuse for adaptive instructional content and methods and evaluation of the effectiveness of tutoring technologies. Truly adaptive systems make intelligent (optimal) decisions about tailoring instruction in real-time and make these decisions based on information about the learner and the instructional context (training environment. The papers presented by experts in the field include authoring, ITS interoperability, user perspectives of GIFT, non-cognitive factors in intelligent tutoring, teachable agents, dialogue-based tutoring methods, and intelligent tutoring for teams.

Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Volume 10 - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis of Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Author: Anne Sinatra
Publisher: U.S. Army DEVCOM – Soldier Center
ISBN: 0997725834
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
This book is a resource for those who are new to intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), as well as those with a great deal of experience with them. This is the tenth book in our Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems book series. The focus of this book is on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analyses of varying components of ITSs. Each chapter in the book represents a different topic area, and includes a SWOT analysis that is specific to that topic and how it relates to ITSs. This book can be read in order, or a reader can choose a specific topic area and move directly to that chapter. Each SWOT Analysis describes the current state of the topic area, and how the lessons learned from the analysis could be applied to the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) (Sottilare et al., 2012; Sottilare et al., 2017). GIFT is an ITS architecture that is open-source, modular, and domain independent (Sottilare et al., 2017). Each book in the design recommendations series has addressed a different ITS topic area, and how the work in each chapter can relate to and inform the GIFT architecture. GIFT has continually been in development, with features consistently being added to improve functionality, as well as reduce the skill requirement for authoring content in GIFT. GIFT is freely available in both downloadable and Cloud versions at https://www.GIFTtutoring.org.

Welcome to the Proceedings of the 11th Annual GIFT User Symposium! This year we are celebrating 11 years of GIFT Symposiums and have accepted 15 papers for publication. All of the presentations that occurred at GIFTSym11, and the papers in this volume show the versatility of the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), and the work that is being done with GIFT. GIFT is an open-source intelligent tutoring system (ITS) architecture that is freely available online at GIFTtutoring.org. There are both Cloud and Downloadable version of GIFT. GIFT has been developed with multiple goals in mind including supporting ITS research, and simplified creation of ITSs and Adaptive Instructional Systems (AISs). Our fantastic team, and our program committee did a great job supporting the development of GIFTSym11, reviewing papers, and assisting with the facilitation of the event this year. We want to recognize them for their efforts: • Benjamin Goldberg • Gregory Goodwin • Michele Myers • Alexandra Lutz • Randall Spain • Lisa N. Townsend We were very pleased to have GIFTSym11 return to being an in-person event this year! Additionally, this was our first year offering a hybrid option for attendees. We are very happy that both modalities were well attended!
