The International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provides a forum for interchange of ideas around the applications of computer science to education and human learning. Presentations at the conference focus on developments and rigorous research around the design and use of interactive and adaptive learning technologies for learners of all ages, for subject matters that span the school curriculum, and for professional applications in industry, the military, and medicine. The conferences promotes cross-fertilization of information and ideas from several cyberlearning related fields: artificial intelligence, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, human-computer interaction, educational technology, psychology, and STEM disciplines.This project will support travel for advanced graduate students from US universities to attend the 11th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), to be held in Chania, Crete, in Greece, from June 15 to 18, 2012 (http://its2012.teicrete.gr). Those advanced graduate students will participate in the Young Research Track at the conference. That track is designed to provide young researchers with mentoring beyond what they get at their home institutions that will help them transition from graduate school to a fruitful research career. Young Researcher activities include structured poster sessions in which students present their work and one-on-one mentoring throughout the conference from a senior member of the ITS community who shares research interests with a young researcher and who comes from a different university and has a different approach than the young researcher experiences in his/her home institution. It is expected that conversations between peers and between mentors and mentees will continue throughout each young researcher's career. This activity supports the mission of NSF to train more advanced professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This conference is unique in its synthesis and cross-fertilization across three STEM capacities: building cutting-edge learning technologies, investigating pedagogical methods that are theoretically grounded in the cognitive, social, and learning sciences, and rigorously testing the learning environments for their effectiveness at promoting learning (in STEM disciplines and other disciplines) among K-12, college, and workplace populations.

智能教学系统（ITS）国际会议为围绕计算机科学在教育和人类学习中的应用交流思想提供了一个论坛。会议上的演讲集中在开发和严格的研究，围绕设计和使用互动和自适应学习技术，为所有年龄段的学习者，为跨越学校课程的主题，并在工业，军事和医学专业应用。这些会议促进了来自几个网络学习相关领域的信息和想法的交流：人工智能、认知科学、教育学、学习科学、人机交互、教育技术、心理学和STEM学科。该项目将支持美国大学的高级研究生参加将在哈尼亚举行的第11届智能辅导系统（ITS）国际会议，希腊克里特岛，2012年6月15日至18日（http：its2012.teicrete.gr）。 这些高级研究生将参加会议上的青年研究轨道。该轨道旨在为年轻的研究人员提供超出他们在家乡机构所获得的指导，这将帮助他们从研究生院过渡到富有成效的研究生涯。青年研究人员的活动包括结构化的海报会议，学生在会议期间展示他们的工作和一对一的指导，来自ITS社区的高级成员与年轻研究人员分享研究兴趣，来自不同的大学，并有不同的方法比年轻研究人员在他/她的家乡机构的经验。预计同行之间以及导师和学员之间的对话将在每个年轻研究人员的职业生涯中继续进行。该活动支持NSF培养科学、技术、工程和数学领域更高级专业人员的使命。本次会议在三个STEM能力的综合和交叉施肥方面是独一无二的：建立尖端的学习技术，调查理论上基于认知，社会和学习科学的教学方法，并严格测试学习环境在促进K-12，大学和工作场所人群学习（STEM学科和其他学科）的有效性。
