This document summarizes research on improving user control and personalization in artificial intelligence for education (AIED) systems. It discusses several AIED systems that provide adaptive navigation support and annotation based on user models while allowing user control over sequencing and navigation. Evaluation of these systems found they can reduce effort, encourage exploration, and increase learning outcomes when users are able to follow or override advice. The document also presents approaches that improve transparency and control through open learner models, controllable ranking, visualization of recommendation models, and balancing adaptation with user exploration.
