Artificial intelligence in education

The ninth international conference on artificial intelligence in education will be held in Le Mans, France, from 19 to 23 July 1999. The conference is designed to highlight the latest research results in this field and to provide opportunities for the exchange of information and ideas on research and applications.

The theme will be "Open learning environments: new computational technologies to support learning, exploration and collaboration" and the conference organisers are currently seeking the submission of papers for presentation during the conference. The papers should explore the emerging roles of intelligent multimedia and distributed technologies, as well as computer supported collaborative learning possibilities.

The technical programme of the conference will focus on research activities linking artificial intelligence theories and techniques with educational theories and practice. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Authoring systems and tutoring shells;
- Cognitive development and diagnosis;
- Human factors and interface design;
- Intelligent multimedia and hypermedia systems;
- Modelling pedagogical interactions;
- Principles and tools for instructional design;
- Social and cultural aspects of learning;
- Computer assisted language learning.
