Agents for Networked Virtual Learning Environments
... ng standards and can run over various platforms. OnLive platform supports only audio conferencing but its client can be used as plug-in in a web page. RealNetworks solution can facilitate prerecorded streaming multimedia delivery and synchronisation. User-system interaction in computer based learning systems is provided through intelligent agents (Fabri et. al. 1999). In INVITE a set of functions, like avatar and object handling, mobile communication interaction and collaboration will be programmed through intelligent agents. Also agents can be reminders, guides, guards and translators of the users. The use of declarative language implementations provide more advantages than procedural ones and for ...
: A decisive factor for new technologies is always the added value with respect to
... In addition, recently have been developed new types of intelligent agents for specific functions, such as pedagogical agents. Pedagogical agents can inhabit in Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) and be represented by a character (avatar) or a special object (e.g. a book) [1]. Their role is to interact with the users (students and teachers) within the CVEs. ...
Collaborative livelong learning is one of the emerging needs of the information age. Access to education is going to become crucial for the success of our information society. Therefore a lot of potential is seen in distance learning and online collaborative environments. This paper proposes an intelligent distributed virtual training environment for distance education through shared 3D spaces
Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) are distributed virtual reality systems with multi-user access. Each inhabitant is represented by a humanoid embodiment, an avatar, making them virtually present in the artificial world. This paper investigates how inhabitants of these CVEs can communicate with each other through channels other than speech, and it is primarily concerned with the visualization and perception of facial expressions and body postures in CVEs. We outline our experimental work and discuss ways of expressing the emotional state of CVE inhabitants through their avatars.
The growing need for communication, visualization and organization
technologies in the field of e-learning environments has led to the
application of virtual reality and the use of collaborative virtual
environments. The paper presents a system architecture to support such
environments, defined by user needs and using state of the art
technologies
