LANCA: A Distance Learning Architecture Based on Networked Cognitive Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of Internet as a general vehicle to support distance learning is a recent orientation of learning with multiple positive and negative consequences. The important disadvantage of such an approach is to forget the difference between information and knowledge, between consultation and pedagogy, leading to poor training as a consequence. The need of providing access to information to a larger number of people should not be realized to the detriment of the quality of training. In this paper we first explain why and how ITS techniques using intelligent agents can be adapted to distance learning. We precise the main characteristics of these agents and their functions in a distributed environment. We then present the architecture of this environment with the role of the different intelligent agents. We show, on an example, how the agents interact with the learner and particularly how a pedagogical agent can switch to a new strategy according to the progression of the learner.

متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

متن کاملA two-level multi-agent architecture for a distance learning environment
In this paper some results achieved in the domain of multi-agent methodology applied to educational systems are presented. We have developed a distance learning environment based on a two-level multi-agent architecture. Two-levels are distinguished since the application is composed by two multi-agent systems (MAS). The higher-level MAS is composed of cognitive agents, which provide the main fun...
