title = "Advances from the Office of Naval Research STEM Grand Challenge: expanding the boundaries of intelligent tutoring systems",
abstract = "This special issue presents evaluations of four intelligent tutoring systems. These systems were funded under the Office of Naval Research{\textquoteright}s STEM Grand Challenge for intelligent tutoring systems. The systems each represent aspects of how ITS can address STEM education or how aspects of multiple systems can be integrated to support STEM education. The selected papers also provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of each system. The current paper provides an overview of the Office of Naval Research STEM Grand Challenge program, the systems funded under the program, and summaries of the articles within this special issue.",

note = "Funding Information: This special issue provides two example articles from the phase 1 projects and two articles from the phase 2 projects. These articles provide an overview and snapshot of the advanced ITS that have recently been supported by ONR. ONR has played a major role in leading the development of these systems throughout the history of ITS and before these systems were supported by National Science Foundation, Institute of Education Sciences, and research foundations (Chipman 2015; Sabo et al. 2013). The four primary articles are followed by a commentary by Fletcher 2018 which reflects on these developments as well as the state of ITS in general and assessments of these systems on learning gains (see also Kulik and Fletcher 2015).
