Dr Antonija (Tanja) Mitrovic is a full professor in the Departmnet of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. She is the leader of ICTG (Intelligent Computer Tutoring Group). Dr Mitrovic received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Nis, Yugoslavia in 1994.
Dr Mitrovic’s primary research interests are in Artificial Intelligence in Education. ICTG has developed a number of constraint-based intelligent tutoring systems in a variey of domains, which have been thoroughly evaluated in real classrooms, and proven to be highly effective. These systems provide adaptive support for acquiring both problem-solving skills and meta-cognitive skills (such as self-explanation and self-assessment). Although most of the ITSs developed by ICTG support students learning individually in areas such as database querying (SQL-Tutor) database design (EER-Tutor and ERM-Tutor), data normalization (NORMIT) and language learning (CAPIT), a recent development is an ITS that teaches object-oriented software design and collaborative skills simultaneously. ICTG has also done a lot of research on authoring, resulting in ASPIRE, a full authoring and deployment environment for constraint-based tutors. |
