Intelligent Tutoring Systems

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2021, held in Athens, Greece, in June 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.
The 22 full papers, 22 short papers and 18 other papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 87 submissions.
Conforming to the current move of education, work and leisure online, the title of ITS 2021 was "Intelligent Tutoring Systems in an online world". Its objective was to present academic and research achievements of computer and cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence, and, due to its recent emergence, specifically, deep learning in tutoring and education
