Abstract:
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has become the most challenging area in the last several years. It includes the disciplines; cognitive and social psychology, data science, computer science, empirical psychology, web science and knowledge engineering. The goal of the field is to deliver knowledge-based systems which can be used in real teaching, learning and training situations. AI gives these systems added computing capability, allowing them to exhibit more intelligent behavior. Many types of these systems are in existence today and are applies to different domains and tasks. This talk discusses the usage of AI theories and approaches in developing intelligent e-learning and tutoring systems. The main characteristics of such systems are the abilities of inference, reasoning , perception and learning. The talk presents three intelligent methodologies, namely; case-based reasoning, intelligent data mining, and ontological engineering from e-Learning perspective. In addition, the talk presents some examples of the developed systems by the author and his colleagues at Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Engineering Research Labs, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
