Below is a questionnaire requesting information from researchers who are
interested in the application of Artificial Intelligence in education.
If you are working in this area or are interested in this area please look
at the questionnaire and fill it out. [...] You can also fill out
the questionnaire on-line and return it by email to the address provided
below.
This questionnaire is part of a larger effort to facilitate communication
among researchers in this area. We are also maintaining a list of postal
addresses of those people that are interested in joining a special interest
group in AI and education. One activity planned is a special interest group
meeting at AAAI '86 this August in Philadelphia. An annoucement of this
meeting will be forthcoming.
