ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN DISTANCE EDUCATION

As a result of the rise of modern knowledge society, it has been highly required to have newer approaches and innovations in the sense of educational processes. Because of this, different methods and technologies have appeared to make the expressed requirements real. At this point, information and communication technologies have had a great role in remarkable improvements. From this perspective, the Distance Education approach and its related techniques like E-Learning, M-Learning... etc. are popular and strong elements for today's world. In addition to the related effectiveness of the E-Learning, researchers also perform more scientific studies to support E-Learning or improve its functions and features to provide better conditions within the learning and teaching process. Today, one of the most remarkable improvement ways is using Artificial Intelligence techniques to support classical Distance Education approaches-techniques or develop newer ones to continue development of the subject area.
