Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence has an extensive application area. Nowadays, machine intelligence issues have gone beyond academic publications to be discussed in mass media such as newspapers, TV shows, and so on.
The educational field is not an exception; even artificial intelligence has a very long tradition in supporting the learning processes with intelligent assistants or tutors, recommending educational materials, predicting students’ behaviors, and managing vast amounts of data. However, big data, machine learning, or deep learning techniques provide significant potential for this purpose, leading to new applications, more efficient operations, and more human approaches. These methodologies enable digging massive databases, enhancing the knowledge base, and producing new data model-based applications and services for the educational community.
The development of smart learning services with the technologies mentioned above will allow advancing to more effective teaching and learning services, with powerful possibilities for teachers and new ways to permit a more self and autonomous for students, with special attention given to a mixture of formal and informal learning approaches.
This Special Issue is oriented to present a collection of papers of original advances in educational applications and services propelled by artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and deep learning.
