Realizing the Potential of AIED

This is a time of opportunity and promise for AIED as a field. The field has had some major successes, and is having an impact with significant numbers of learners. Now that Big Data has arrived in education, opportunities are opening up to generate analytics from that data and use it to personalize learning. There is however potential to have an even greater impact on education, and make greater use of AI technologies. The field should focus on realizing this potential, and not divorce itself from either AI or Ed. Achieving impact will require more effective dialog and collaboration with educators, learners, and people in industry.
