Abstract

User modeling and student modeling though similar in many ways have generally been pursued in parallel for the past decade This chapter explores the role of student modeling in intelligent tutoring systems from the perspective of user modeling with the goal of determining what researchers in user modeling can learn from student modeling The chapter focuses on three issues the information modeled about students how that information is represented and how the student model is built Several intelligent tutoring systems that do student modeling are critically examined in particular BUGGY LMS GUIDON and WUSOR and recommendations for user modeling based on this examination are made
