QuizMASter - A Multi-Agent Game-Style Learning Activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a research project in progress of developing a Multi-Agent System-based educational game QuizMASter for e-learning that would help students learn their course material through friendly competition. We explore the use of perceptive pedagogical agents that would be able to determine the learner’s attitudes; to assess learners’ emotional states through examining learner’s standing, response timing, and history, and banter; and to provide appropriate feedback to students in order to motivate them.

The research objective of this essay is integrating multi agent systems (MAS) into networked 3D virtual learning environments (VLE). Integrating a multi agent system with a 3D virtual learning environment allows abstracting from the peculiarities of interacting with the virtual environment, so designers may focus on the pedagogical problem to solve. The focus of this research is specifically on...

متن کاملSimulated Learners for Testing Agile Teaming in Social Educational Games
This paper proposes an approach for creating and testing an multiagent systems based adaptive social educational game (SEG), QuizMASter, using the concept of simulated learners to overcome experimentation complexity and unpredictable student availability, as is typical with online learning environments. We show that simulated learners can play two roles. First, it can be used for testing the ga...

متن کاملUsing human physiology to evaluate subtle expressivity of a virtual quizmaster in a mathematical game
The aim of the experimental study described in this article is to investigate the effect of a lifelike character with subtle expressivity on the affective state of users. The character acts as a quizmaster in the context of a mathematical game. This application was chosen as a simple, and for the sake of the experiment, highly controllable, instance of human–computer interfaces and software. Su...
