The US Army Research Laboratory chartered the formation of a Center for Adaptive Instructional Sciences (CAIS) this year under its Open Campus initiative and invites you to join at: https://instructionalsciences.org.

CAIS is an international center open to government, academia and industry participants. The intent is to use CAIS as a community of practice and sounding board to identify needed research, standards, and best practices for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• AI and Machine Learning for ITSs
• Assessment Methods
• Authoring Tools
• Domain Modeling
• Individual Learner Modeling
• Instructional Management
• ITS Architecture and Ontology
• Team Modeling

COLLABORATIVE FOCUS¶

CAIS is focused on identifying and leveraging talent, facilities, and resources across government, industry, and academia to conduct transformative adaptive instructional science which enhances capabilities in three broad areas:

• Authoring tools for Adaptive Instructional Systems
• Instructional Management (tailoring & delivery)
• Evaluation tools and methods (effect size)

BENEFITS¶

• Collaborative work with CAIS partners
• Shared data, technology, and activities related to the Learning in Intelligent Tutoring Environments (LITE) Laboratory
• Facilitation in formalizing collaborative relationships and defining intellectual property issues
• Participation in strategic and technical discussion through targeted workshops and open formats
• Opportunity to significantly impact the technical projects and management of the CAIS

STEERING BOARD¶

A steering board will be elected from the CAIS membership this December so join now!
