A vast variety of rich resources for learning exist and approaches in learning like individual learning, personalized learning, and connected learning are gaining considerable importance. While there is a strong emphasis on learning based on learners’ own needs and their freedom in the selection of their own strategies, we need to consider the place of AI as the facilitator of such trends so that learning could be implemented effectively. With this in mind, this section aims to present and discuss how AI tools and applications could be used in accordance with learning strategies to give chances to learners to learn efficiently in their way. Within that perspective connected learning and cognitive-affective strategies in AI environments were also elaborated with sample scenarios of cases provided.
