Aims and Scope

New technologies are causing an extraordinary pace of change within the
social and industrial foundations of the world. We are facing a rate of
change much faster than any previous generation and the most critical
aspect of this change is its impact on the collective knowledge of people.
The quantities of knowledge, the speed at which people need retraining and
the complexity of topics require a new approach to training.

The solution would seem to be to use, for learning purposes, the technologies 
which are at the root of the challenge posed by rapid change.

Intelligent Tutoring Media publishes first-rate articles concerned with
the packaging and communication of knowledge using advanced information
technologies. Articles in the journal study the impact of artificial
intelligence, hypertext, interactive video, mass storage devices and
telecommunication networks. This journal aims to provide a leading forum 
for publication of the results of national and international collaboration.

Intelligent Tutoring Media is intended to act not only as an archival
repository of achievements (5000 - 7000 word papers) but also a directory of
work in progress (short 1500 word papers). Long papers should clearly 
indicate novel innovations with technical and experimental supportive
evidence.
