Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Intelligent Tutoring Systems

  • Chapter
Advances in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 308))

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss how recent advances in the field of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) have created the opportunity for new synergies between CSCL and ITS research. Three “hot” CSCL research topics are used as examples: analyzing individual’s and group’s interactions, providing students with adaptive intelligent support, and providing students with adaptive technological means.
