Student modelling

This volume in the NATO Advanced Educational Technology program gives a comprehensive overview of the field of student modelling. Student modelling, a special case of user modelling, gives an intelligent tutoring system the capability to individualize its interactions with a student. The book collects together contributions from many of the world's leading authorities on student modelling. They include formalists, knowledge engineers, and cognitive scientists, to give the book an interdisciplinary flavour that enriches the treatment. The editors have written an overallintroduction that helps to integrate the many ideas in the book. This is a unique, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of the field.
