Abstract
Student modeling has played a key role in the success of ITS by allowing computer-based tutors to dynamically adapt to a student’s knowledge and problem solving behaviour. In this talk, I will discuss how the scope and effectiveness of ITS can be further increased by extending the range of features captured in a student model to include domain independent, meta-cognitive skills and affective states. In particular, I will illustrate how we are applying this research to improve the effectiveness of exploratory learning environments and educational games designed to support open ended, student-led pedagogical interactions.
