The editors' summary of D'Mello's contribution to the special issue's second section. The proposal to extend modeling to attentional state and to research attention tracking and management is reported as the paper's vision.

"In D'Mello's vision of the next 25 years, AIED systems will extend modeling and monitoring of various aspects of the learner and the learning experience to include the learners' attentional state. The paper proposes research on attention tracking and management that is directed towards dynamically directing attention for highly effective learning."
