Clark Quinn recognizes the contributions of Roger Schank to the field to mark his passing. "Roger's work connected story to cognition," writes Quinn. "Roger realized that there must be cognitive structures for events that were similar to the proposed schemas for things. He investigated the phenomena computationally, advancing artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Roger subsequently applied his thinking to education, writing Engines for Education (amongst other works), while leading a variety of efforts in using technology to support learning." I never met him, but was certainly aware of his valuable work. See also Harold Jarche and Socratic Arts.
