What is Second Generation iLearning?

Second-generation iLearning or ITS is the integration of eLearning and Artificial Intelligence, a branch of science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer-friendly way. A fundamental tenet of this design is that one size does not fit all as the learning process varies considerably from student to student. Hence, an ITS will behave like a real teacher would, identifying your strengths and weaknesses and deploying a teaching approach which will best fit your learning profile and personality. The system will assist and guide you and spontaneously add supplementary material to the initial course to better your understading. Real-time feedback is also an essential part of this system, as it shows the instructor and the learner which areas require additional attention. Please refer to the definitions below .

What is an ITS?
An ITS provides individualized tutoring or instruction and includes the following components:

• Knowledge of the domain (topic or curriculum)
• Knowledge of the learner
• Knowledge of learning strategies (methods of instruction)

The goal for every ITS is to communicate its embedded knowledge effectively.

What ITS must do?
An ITS must insure the following:

• Accurately diagnose students' knowledge structures, skills, and learning styles
• Diagnose using principles, rather than preprogrammed responses
• Decide what to do next
• Adapt instruction accordingly
• Provide feedback
