Abstract

With the ever-increasing presence of information technology at all levels of education, educational software must advance in its utility and become integrated into curricula. Intelligent learning environments (ILEs) are software educational resources which encourage active, creative learning. The results of an empirical study involving sixth-grade students are presented which show how an ILE may be effective and engaging software while serving as an integral part of a constructivist learning experience
