A Framework for a Multi-agent Collaborative Virtual Learning Environment (MACVILLE) Based on Activity Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual Learning Environments are increasingly used in education to encourage collaborative learning and engagement with the learning material. However, collaborative activity is often minimal and superficial. We propose a multi-agent collaborative virtual learning environment in which the agents support communication skills and collaboration among and with learners. Our framework is underpinned by Activity theory which is a theoretical model of human activity that reflects its collaborative nature.
