During the past two decades, there have been tremendous advances in artificial intelligence (AI), along with a recent increase in interest, support, and funding. A1 research has already had an industrial impact; for example, consider the current proliferation of expert systems and associated authoring tools. However, what effect will the advance of A1 research have on education? In particular, what effect will A1 research have in the classroom? One is tempted to answer with a promise to produce wonderful intelligent computer-assisted instruction (ICAI) systems, exciting learning environments, systems to diagnose as well as tutor and teach, and computer-based games that teach as well as captivate. But before we get caught up in a wave of enthusiasm, let us play the role of cynic for a moment. During the 60’s and ~ O ’ S , many articles promised that the computer would revolutionize education.
