Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) is a multidisciplinary field of study that draws upon artificial intelligence, computer science, and cognitive science to create computerized tutoring systems that offer immediate feedback and individualized instruction. Broadly construed, most intelligent tutoring systems can be characterized as having two loops: an outer loop and an inner loop. In general, the goal of the track is to bring together an international group of scientists to present current research, design, and empirical evaluations of their tutoring systems. is track is meant to inform researchers on the recent developments in both the design of tutoring systems, as well as their evaluation. Topics included game-based, narrative-based and virtual learning environments; NLP and dialogue in tutoring systems; modeling and shaping affective state; metacognition; gaming the system; ill-defined domains; educational data mining; authoring tools for nonexperts; adaptive educational hypermedia; collaborative and group learning; open learner modeling; ontology engineering for educational purposes; novel interfaces; human computer interaction in educational settings; design decisions to increase engagement; and assistive technologies for learners with special needs.

The call for papers were Yutao Wang and Neil Heffernan for "The attracted 179 submissions, across 13 different'Assistance' Model: Leveraging How Many tracks. Special tracks are a vital part of the Hints and Attempts a Student Needs," a submission FLAIRS conferences, with 12 held at FLAIRSto the Special Track on Intelligent Tutoring 24. Over 90 percent of the papers were reviewed Systems; Simon Delamarre for "The Utility of by four or more reviewers, and all papers were Combinatory Categorical Grammar in Designing reviewed by at least three. These reviews were a Pedagogical Tool for Teaching Languages," coordinated by the program committees of the a submission to the Special Track on Computation general conference and the special tracks. The Linguistics; and Rachel M. Rufenacht, accepted submissions include 94 papers and 37 Philip M. McCarthy, and Travis A. Lamkin for poster papers that appear in these proceedings.
