Long description:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, AIED 2015, held in Madrid, Spain, in June 2015.

The 50 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynotes, 79 poster presentations, 13 doctoral consortium papers, 16 workshop abstracts, and 8 interactive event papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The conference provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques and ideas from the many fields that comprise AIED, including computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, game design, psychology, sociology, linguistics, as well as many domain-specific areas.
