Intelligent Educational Machines: Methodologies and Experiences. Studies in Computational Intelligence, Volume 44 (Electronic book text)

The Artificial Intelligence and Education is an ever-growing research area. It uses artificial intelligence tools and techniques to provide the foundations for intelligent tutoring and learning systems. The main concern is taking advantage of the computer-based technology to examine, discuss and fosters the processes of cognition, learning, teaching and related subjects. It supports and develops innovative teaching methods and learning systems. The goal of this volume has been to offer a wide spectrum of sample works developed in leading research throughout the world about innovative methodologies of artificial intelligence in education and foundations of engineering educational intelligent systems as well as application and interesting experiences in the field. The book should be useful both for beginners and experienced researchers interested in applying computational intelligence to the educational process.
