We invite contributions to the ITS 2010 conference, to be held June

14-18, 2010. The technical sessions will take place June 15-17, with

June 14 and 18 devoted to workshops and tutorials. The conference will

be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, host to the recent G-20 summit and

rated the USA’s most livable city by The Economist.

Just prior to ITS 2010, the Third International Conference on

Educational Data Mining (EDM 2010) will also take place in Pittsburgh.

See educationaldatamining.org/EDM2010.

The ITS 2010 conference is part of an on-going bi-annual series of

top-flight international conferences on the use of advanced educational

technologies that are adaptive to users or groups of users. These highly

interdisciplinary conferences bring together researchers in the learning

sciences, computer science, cognitive or educational psychology,

cognitive science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and

linguistics.

The theme of the ITS 2010 conference is Bridges to Learning. The

conference will address the use of advanced technologies as bridges for

learners and facilitators to robust learning outcomes. It will encompass

all aspects of learning with advanced technologies, including cognitive,

social, affective, and motivational aspects. The conference will address

the design, development, use, and evaluation of advanced educational

systems in a wide variety of contexts, as well as the mining of data

about student learning generated by such systems. Papers describing

empirical studies are particularly encouraged.
