The Future of Intelligent
Tutors
Technology will continue to change at an
accelerating speed. Three technologies will come
together to form a new and more effective cyber
tutor.
Technology will continue to become more and more important
in the classroom. The teacher will become more of a facilitator
matching technologies with needs. The human factor can never
leave the classroom, but it will change in the years ahead.
Through technology we will have the ability to give every
student one on one attention on a nearly constant basis. As
knowledge increases, learning will also increase.
Hopefully, the teacher will continue to be the mentor and
example for the students, to guide them in the correct way to
use and apply that knowledge.
An example of where ITS seems to be going is at this site. You
will find a mixture of AI, VR, ITS, and IAs. These acronyms will
most probably be the new kids on the block of education in the
years ahead. It is an exciting time to be an educator.
One thing is certain, we are just at the
beginning of the age of intelligent
computers.
