The AIED workshop on Authoring and Tutoring Methods for Diverse Task Domains: Psychomotor, Mobile, and Medical (AIED_AIS1) is a half‐day workshop conducted as part of the AI in Education 2018 conference to be held 27‐30 June in London. The purpose of this workshop is to provide the AIED Community with an exploration of key issues surrounding authoring and tutoring methods for diverse task domains (i.e., psychomotor and medical task domains, or other domains using mobile technologies) in intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs).  Currently, the development and utility of intelligent tutoring systems are mostly confined to desktop environments—limiting training to conventional instructional environments—for the purpose of training predominantly cognitive and perceptual skills and functions. Thus, there is a need for the development and use of ITSs to bridge the gap between training cognitive and perceptual skills in conventional instructional environments and the training for more diverse task environments, such as psychomotor, and medical task domains, or other domains requiring mobile technologies. The workshop will facilitate an interactive panel discussion from those in the ITS community for the goal of identifying and discussing the technical needs, research questions, current state of the research, and/or challenges related to authoring and tutoring methods in ITSs specific to psychomotor, mobile, and medical task domains. Papers identifying and discussing the technical needs, current and future research questions and directions, current state of the research, and/or challenges related to authoring and tutoring methods for adaptive instructional systems (e.g., intelligent tutoring/training systems) are sought.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Both empirical and theoretical papers with topics related to authoring and/or tutoring methods for adaptive instructional systems (e.g., intelligent tutoring/training systems) in one or more of the following three task domains, or themes: (1) psychomotor domains (2) medical domains, and (3) mobile domains.
