- I used this book as a text for a course taught by John Anderson at Carnegie
- Mellon, and we primarily used articles and papers to supplement it. These
- were usually case studies on the more famous ITS's like SOPHIE, and John
- Anderson's LISP tutor. I don't have the text in front of me, but if I'm
- not mistaken, each chapter has a rather thorough bibliography. There are
- many articles on the subject in educational journals, as well as the various
- journals published after AI conferences. I think there was an ITS conference
- recently, in Canada, so be on the look out for a new info-packed journal.

-
- I'm not sure what line of research you mean...where the ITS participates
- in cooperative learning, or the advantages of said cooperative learning?
- I am currently doing research into a generic ITS in which the expert model
- is developed independently via an authoring system, while the curriculum
- and instruction modules are constant, enabling a single ITS to tutor in
- multiple domains. I'm basing the instruction loosely on constructivistic
- principles.

- Good Luck!
