Abstract

Results are summarized from current research projects that explore ways in which Artificial Intelligence models and tools can be incorporated to use the computer more effectively as a teaching aid. In particular the Information Resource Model was designed as a database especially for education. The heart of the model is a graphical query language which achieves hypertext behavior while ameliorating some of the shortcomings of hypertext.
