ITS 2018 First Call For Papers

The Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) 2018 conference is the 14th in a series of top-tiered international conferences on the use of advanced computer technologies and interdisciplinary research for enabling, supporting and enhancing human learning.

ITS 2018 Conference will celebrate 30 years of ongoing contributions in the field of Intelligent Tutoring Systems and will take place in the city and country of its birth:--Montreal, Canada, in mid-June 2018.

Theme of the Conference:
The theme of ITS 2018 Conference traces the evolution of the academic and research achievements of the series of ITS Conferences from its birth up to now and explores its 30 years of scientific impact in the field.
