The Illusion of Life Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) was supplemented with affective artificial study companions to aid summarisation. To motivate students the companions were made believable by implementing opposite ‘affectations’ or behaviour-based believable personalities realised as animated agents. The agents were carefully evolved through the use of a user-centred Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) approach then subsequently evaluated in terms of their pedagogical and affective effectiveness. Finally, conclusions were reached for future work such as the utility of the behaviour-based approach particularly in relation to pedagogical agents.
