CALL FOR PAPERS ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

GIFTSym11 will be held in-person on May 10th and 11th, 2023 in Orlando, FL. All presentations will be in-person. We are planning to have a hybrid option for non-presenting attendees who wish to participate virtually, however, they are also welcome to attend in-person.

GIFTSym11 is the eleventh annual Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) User Symposium. GIFTSym11 invites GIFT designers, developers and practitioners to submit technical papers about their ideas, experiences, and lessons-learned in using GIFT to author and evaluate Adaptive Instructional Systems (AISs). GIFT is an open-source, empirically-based, service-oriented framework of tools, methods and standards to make it easier to author computer-based tutoring systems (CBTSs), deliver and manage instruction, and assess the effect of adaptive instruction, CBTSs, components and methodologies. GIFT is being developed under the Adaptive Tutoring Research Science & Technology project at the Learning in Intelligent Tutoring Environments (LITE) Laboratory, part of the US Army Combat Capability Development Command – Soldier Center’s Simulation and Training Technology Center (DEVCOM-SC STTC).
