“ The ability to understand the states, traits, and habits of individual learners,

collaborative groups, or team is a necessary prerequisite to guiding, adapting, and

optimizing instructional experiences. The modeling and assessment of learners

interacting with peers, human instructors, or computer-based tutors provides a window

into the effectiveness of instructional tools andmethods that is needed to continuously

improve their learning experiences. Any action taken by the tutor/teacher/instructor

without knowledge of those being taught is a shot in the dark. We applaud those who

dedicate their lives to helping us solve the hard problems that will turn on the light and

allow us to easily tailor learning experiences for every person.” (Robert Sottilare, Ph.D., US Army Research Laboratory, Adaptive Training Scientist)
