Call for Tutorials

Prospective tutorial instructors are invited to submit proposal for AIED 2009. Similar to previous AIED conferences, tutorials will run in parallel with other conference activities, such as workshops,  for either a half day or a full day. Proposals on advanced topics, new developments with a certain level of maturity and fundamentals of the AIED research are especially welcome. Tutorials should take a broad perspective on the topic, and should not be a sales pitch for a single body of work. Topics should have a direct relevance to the topics of the conference. Attendees are expected to register to the main AIED conference.
