From: Walter Maner <maner%bgsu.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA> Could anyone point me to recent research in the development of intelligent tutoring/training systems for the physically/mentally impaired? My interest is on the software engineering side, not the hardware side. What kinds of unsolved problems exist which might be addressable by ICAI software methods? My impression is that, while there is much activity on the hardware frontier for impaired learners, there has been little innovative work on the software side. So much for my impressions :-). Please reply by mail directly to me. If there are enough responses, I will post a response summary back to mod.ai. Thank you.

From: ulysses!ihnp4!alberta!arms@ucbvax.berkeley.edu (Bill Armstrong) There is a softcover book: Microcomputer Resource Book for Special Education by Dolores Hagen published by Reston in 1984. It deals with questions of the learning impaired, deaf, blind, and physically handicapped, but points out that a lot of software is useful to the handicapped even if it isn't so labelled. The ISBN numbers are 0-8359-4345-3 and 0-8359-4344-5 (paperback) Call number LC4019.H33 1984. I don't know whether it satisfies the ICAI criterion or is just CAI. The person to talk to about ICAI would be Greg Kearsley, Courseware, Inc., 10075 Carroll Canyon Road, San Diego, California 92131. I hope this helps you.
