Intelligent Learning Systems Where are They Now?

This paper documents the work in progress in creating a new Intelligent Learning System. The paper introduces the issues of relevance when developing such systems. It examines briefly the state of the art followed by key approaches to addressing the major research questions in the field. We introduce the Realise system outlining the philosophy behind the system. and also the novel approach which we are taking to its implementation. Following this we explore the as yet unanswered research questions which must be addressed in order to develop what we believe is a truly intelligent learning system; one which can appropriately and intelligently guide learners (students) along their individual learning paths throughout their lives. Keywords— Intelligent Learning, ITS, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Knowledge Management.
