The Approaches and Challenges in Team Tutoring Workshop has been accepted as a half-day workshop during the Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) 2019 conference.

This workshop is seeking paper submissions for presentation and discussion during the workshop session.

The workshop covers the topic areas of approaches and challenges during team tutoring and collaborative learning in intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). The development of team ITSs is a time-intensive and difficult task that includes technological, instructional and design based challenges.

The goals of this workshop include providing a forum for researchers working in these up-and-coming areas to discuss the progress that they have made in team or collaborative tutoring, discuss the approaches that they have taken, the challenges that they have encountered, and/or present theoretical models on innovative methodologies to address future work on team or collaborative tutoring. 

Researchers who are accepted for presentation during the workshop will have an opportunity to demonstrate their team tutoring systems and/or theories if applicable.

To begin the discussion, the workshop will include an introduction and description of the approaches to team tutoring that the co-chairs and colleagues have used in the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT). There will then be the presentation of accepted work in three topic areas: Approaches to creating ITSs for teams (empirical and theoretical), Challenges and lessons learned in creating ITSs for teams, and ITS based collaborative problem solving and learning. The presentations will be followed by an open discussion to identify commonalities in the previously executed approaches, and critique future theoretical work. Through the open discussion, the current challenges of team tutoring and gaps in the team tutoring research will be identified.

This workshop is expected to be of interest to those in academia, government, and industry who are developing tutoring experiences intended to include interaction between multiple learners. The expected outcomes of the workshop include an identification of team tutoring gaps/challenges in varying learning domains, approaches that have been successful or unsuccessful in meeting those challenges, and determining the next steps in approaches that AIED researchers can use for their own team tutor development.
