Abstract
Television is central to the entertainment, information, leisure, and social life of millions of homes all over the world. It has been used for educational purposes for decades, both in the form of edutainment programs (like Sesame street, Telly Tubbies, Walking with Dinosaurs), school TV, and higher education distance learning (like programs by the Open University on UK television). However, it has not really been used for Intelligent Tutoring Systems, as broadcasting to millions of people did not allow for adaptivity. The advent of digital television, and in particular its potential for interactivity (via software and hardware build into receivers and connection with other telecommunication systems, like telephone, cable, and satellite) provides the opportunity to change this. It opens up the possibility of personalised, adaptive learning experiences for individuals and groups of learners alike and has resulted in a heightened interest in the potential of television for education.
