ABSTRACT
The previous chapters in this volume have elaborated on various aspects of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). Topics discussed thus far include expert and student modules, design of curriculum, hardware interfaces, and programming environments. The substantive issues and state of the art have been discussed for each of these topics. As the basic research issues are addressed and the applied technical and engineering issues evolve toward solutions, ITSs have the potential for affecting training in business, industry, schools, and the military. However, good science and technology do not in themselves guarantee that ITSs will be successfully integrated into training environments. There are many people-oriented and organizational issues that interact with science and technology. These issues affect whether innovations like ITSs result in successful applications.
