Learning systems of the future must develop intelligent
systems to relieve tutors from routine decisionmaking
so that they can spend time on issues concerning
the learning process. Intelligent systems will be able
to design, develop, and deliver instruction to meet
learners’ needs. For example, an intelligent agent will be
able to identify learners who need extra help and provide
an alternative learning strategy. The intelligent
agent should anticipate learners’ requirements and respond
immediately to take corrective action or to present
the next learning intervention based on learners’
characteristics and style to maximize learning benefits.
In other words, the intelligent agent should form dynamic
profiles of the learner and guide the learner to the
next step in the learning process.
