E-learning with Intelligent Agents

Designing Distributed Learning Environments with Intelligent Software Agents discusses a possible solution to this problem. Using agents as an abstraction tool or a metaphor for the design and construction of distance-learning systems provides novel possibilities in delivering user-focused elearning content. Furthermore, the book presents the agent-oriented approach as a way to address the complexity of distributed-learning environments. Each of the book’s 10 chapters covers different issues arising in agent-based approaches to developing distributed e-learning systems. The first two chapters as well as the final chapter focus on implementation-related problems, while the others cover issues such as theory, legacy, and pedagogy.
