Resumen
This paper begins with a description of recent work concerned with the development of intelligent teaching programs. For ease of discussion, those projects with firm roots in artificial intelligence are dealt with first. We will see that the AI research worker has tended to take a rather global approach to constructing intelligent systems since he is very much concerned with the difficulties (or advantages) that occur when different kinds of knowledge interact in a program. Next, we consider a growing number of programs which have their roots in CAI, but embrace AI techniques to handle particular problems. In this area developments are largely taking place in a step‐by‐step fashion in response to practical needs. In contrast to the work on building teaching programs, recent research into constructing learning environments is dealt with in the following section. Here there is a close meshing between the AI‐inspired work and cognitive learning theory. The paper closes with speculative remarks about developments likely to take place in the next decade or so.
