Preface
The16thInternationalConferenceonArtificialIntelligenceinEducation(AIED
2013)washeldJuly9–13,2013,inMemphis,USA.Asthe biennialconferenceof
the International Artificial Intelligence in Education Society (http://iaied.org),
it has a longstanding reputation for high-quality research in intelligent systems
and cognitive science for educational computing applications. The conference
provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques, and
ideas from the many fields that comprise the multidisciplinary field of AIED,
including computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, game
design, psychology, sociology, linguistics, as well as many domain-specific areas
for which AIED systems have been designed and evaluated.
Since the first AIED meeting 30 years ago, both the breadth of the research
andthereachofthetechnologieshaveexpandedindramaticways.Thethemeof
AIED2013soughttocapturethisevolution—Fromeducationtolifelonglearning:
constructing ubiquitous and enduring environments for learning. In line with
this theme of expansion, AIED2013 welcomed a new category for Industry and
Innovation papers that sought to capture the challenges, solutions, and results
from the transition of AIED technologies in the commercial sector.
Wereceivedatotalof168submissionsfrom37countriesallovertheglobe,re-
flectingthewideinternationalpresenceofAIED:18Europeancountries,9Asian
countries,5Americancountries,3Africancountries,and2Oceaniacountries.Of
these,55wereacceptedasfull papers(32.7%)and73asposters.Thefullpapers
were allotted 10 pages in the proceedings and the posters, which report high-
quality yet perhaps less mature research, were allotted 4 pages. These papers
coverawiderangeofestablishedaswellasemergingtopicsinAIED,withmany
papers covering several of these. The conference program was arranged in ses-
sions on student modeling and personalization,open-learner modeling, affective
computing and engagement,educationaldata mining, learningtogether (collab-
orativelearningandsocialcomputing),naturallanguageprocessing,pedagogical
agents, metacognition and self-regulated learning, feedback and scaffolding, de-
signed learning activities, educational games and narrative, and outreach and
scaling up.
ThenewIndustryandInnovationtrackreceivedsixsubmissions,ofwhichone
full paper and one poster appear in these proceedings, preceded by a summary
of the contributions by the Industry and Innovation Track Chairs. Following its
long tradition of collegial community, and in particular for nurturing younger
researchers, the conference included a Young Research Track. This important
track provides a forum for PhD students to get feedback and mentoring from
more established AIED researchers, and to exchange peer feedback with other
young scholars. Out of the 22 YRT submissions received, 15 were accepted and
included in the proceedings. The proceedings also include eight abstracts of
VI Preface
Interactive Events, which enable AIED attendees to experiment with new and
emergingAIEDtechnologies.Finally,nineworkshopswereorganizedonthedays
before and after the conference to bring together people working on emerging
and/orveryspecializedtopics. A briefdescriptionof eachworkshopis included.
We were delighted to invite three keynote speakers to start each day of
the conference: Jack Mostow, Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon Univer-
sity in Pittsburgh, USA, offering an overview of his lessons learned during his
20+ years of work on Project LISTEN; Maria Roussou, Interaction Designer at
make-believedesignin Marousi, Greece,presenting her researchin the commer-
cial sector on virtual learning environments and informal learning; Doug Clark,
Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, USA, discussing edu-
cationalgamesforsciencelearning.Abstractsoftheirpresentationsareincluded
in these proceedings.
Peerreviewremainsoneofthemostestablishedandrigorousformsofdecision-
makingthathumanhistoryhaseverseen.Westrivedtoensureahighqualityof
the review process. AIED2013 was fortunate to have dedicated Program Com-
mittees of international experts for each of its tracks. The main conference uti-
lized a Senior Program Committee (SPC), a Program Committee (PC), and
additional reviewers, who were called upon when necessary and supervised by
membersoftheSPCandPC.Thematchingofreviewers’expertiseandinterests
with papers was optimized thanks to an abstract bidding process before allo-
cating papers for review. Conflicts of interest were identified so that no paper
was assigned to a reviewer who is a close collaborator or institution colleague
of any of the papers’ authors. Each paper was blind-reviewed by three or four
reviewers, half SPC members and the other half PC members. Reviewers were
stronglyencouragedtoprovidedetailed,insightfulfeedbacktoauthorsonhowto
improvetheir papers.For eachpaper,a member ofthe SPC headeda week-long
discussionphase withthe otherreviewersassignedto thatpaper to helpreacha
decisionadvice,andsummarizeditinameta-review.TheProgramChairsmade
the final decisions for acceptance on the basis of the reviews, discussions, and
meta-reviews. When needed, the ProgramChairs carefully read the papers and
sought additional reviews to resolve inconsistencies.

as well as one to two for YRT. Overall, the committees did an outstanding job
and made a significant contribution to the quality of this conference program.
We thank the Local Arrangements Chairs and team for their tremendous work
on all organizational aspects of AIED, and also for their (southern) hospital-
ity. We also thank the other members of the Organizing Committee for their
invaluable help, dedication, and professionalism in putting this conference pro-
gram together: the Poster Chairs, YRT Chairs, Industry and Innovation Track
Chairs, Workshop Chairs, Interactive Events Chairs, and Panel Chairs. We are

also grateful to the researcherswho volunteered to organize a workshop in con-
junction with the conference. We expressourgratitude to the pastorganizersof
AIEDandITSconferencesfor theirkindhelpandtips. We wouldliketo extend
our appreciation to the creators of EasyChair for the free management of the
review process and the preparation of the proceedings. Last but not least, we
thank the authorswho submittedtheir workto AIED andwhose papersappear
in these proceedings.
This volume contains all the accepted full papers as well as the rest of the
AIED 2013 program, including the invited talks, posters, industry and innova-
tion papers, description summaries of the workshops (held on July 9 and 13),
interactive event summaries, and YRT papers. We hope you enjoy these pro-
ceedings! It has been our pleasure to assemble them and have a small part in
making AIED 2013 important and memorable.
