Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) use information (data) captured while students are completing an online activity. Immediate feedback is provided, the program adjusts to student responses, and presents a new activity based on the feedback.
AI Models are applied to ITS. AI models are simple computer representations of what happens in the real world. Think of how a model car is a simplified version of its real counterpart.
The suggested activity that is presented can be based on:
domain model (the knowledge about the subject the students needs to learn)
pedagogy model (effective teaching methods based on learning science research)
learner model (what is best suited for the student based on their previous activity and other learners' experiences)
The market for AI products in education is estimated to be worth $6 billion by 2024 (Holmes et al., 2019). There are generally two categories of AI in education products: One designed to support students directly (student-facing tools) and those designed to support teachers to help students (teacher-facing tools). Links for Pearson, Assistments, and IXL are sample tools.
