Track description

The track focuses on tools and methods to support automated adaptation of instructional strategies (e.g. feedback, challenge level and flow) and scenario content based on the student's cognitive state and prediction of their potential future state. Given the emphasis on self-directed learning, this is a critical research area for education and training.

Authors are kindly invited to include in their papers and presentations all the research works, case studies and application both theoretical and applied.
