Conventional learning guidance systems are typically automated machines for creating teaching materials: quizzes, exercises, examinations etc. In the future, systems will also offer ease of use, attention to sociality, ability to adapt to the pupil's needs and skill levels, and time savings. Ease-of-use and adaptation can be sought using systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Chatbots would save teachers time by talking with students about their problems automatically. The virtual classroom would release people from the physical state and offer the opportunity to play with different roles. For the teaching of physics, the virtual classroom provides an opportunity to try out things that are not practically possible. AI could enable automatically identify students' strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. On the other hand, AI also could allow pupils to gain strength through peer learning by bringing students of the same level from all over the world to discuss their own views and could automatically filter out sub-standard and clearly false answers. AI can also be capable of automatically creating tailor-made materials based on student-level learning using deep learning. Finally, AI can also be used to treat pupils' reviews to a large extent. In this research we will evaluate how well new technology powered by AI could respond to the demands of different teaching-learning environments. We will present a learning system that is in use and discuss its differences between opportunities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support different teaching-learning environments and discuss little how AI could support different learning styles.

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
