Integrating emotional agent into virtual learning environment is a flourishing research topic to assist the pedagogical applications. However, most of existing emotional agents still lack of a straightforward and understandable computational strategy for both educational experts and developers. In this paper, we integrate an emotional agent into a pedagogical project which uses OCC-based rules to...
A key design aspect for virtual learning companions is their believability. A lot of attention has been paid to emotion modeling which is at the core of believability. However, most of the existing emotion models neglect the epistemology-based emotions, which are knowledge-related emotions that affect the human learning process. Studies have shown that curiosity is an important epistemology-based...
Teachable agents help students learn more effectively through the benefits of learning-by-teaching. Our field study has shown that learners do not benefit fully from learning with teachable agents due to a lack focus in engaging in learning tasks. We propose the persuasive teachable agent user model as a means to understand individual user learning needs through persuasion theory in order to address...
Teachable agents are pedagogical agents based on the concept of learning-by-teaching. Persuasion theory enhances the capabilities of teachable agents by influencing positive attitude change in learners. This paper proposes Persuasive Teachable Agent (PTA) that enables the selection of persuasive strategies based on persuasion theory to improve learning attitudes. In a preliminary study involving PTA,...
Teachable agent is a type of pedagogical agent which instantiates Learning-by-Teaching theory through simulating a "naive" learner in order to motivate students to teach it. This paper discusses existing teachable agent systems and proposes an affective teachable agent based on goal oriented modeling in Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The proposed agent is more initiative and believable...
Recent years have seen new forms of immersive learning such as interactive storytelling in virtual learning environment. Intelligent software agents are able to provide a more attractive narrative and get the users more involved in the unfolding of the story line in the virtual world. However, designing and implementing a software agent or a multi-agent system (MAS) for this purpose requires the developer...
