Auto-Erecting Agents for a Collaborative Learning Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collaborative learning environment based on 3D media with interchangeable real and virtual components is introduced. This environment is supported by a special knowledge space, which allows the accumulation of concrete haptic as well as abstract physical and logical knowledge. Firstly we present the concept of complex objects, having a real part and various virtual parts of different levels of abstraction. These complex objects allow a synchronous generation and manipulation of real systems and their virtual counterparts. The concept is then extended by a mechanism of auto-erection, enabling these objects to simulate their own potential environment. With this mechanism we are able to freely exchange real and virtual parts of a system in a distributed real learning space. This kind of learning environment is expected to support new forms of interaction, suitable for individual traditions, cultures, norms and conventions of learning styles and pre-knowledge.

متن کاملA Framework for a Multi-agent Collaborative Virtual Learning Environment (MACVILLE) Based on Activity Theory
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 underpinne...

متن کاملOn Incorporating Learning Theories to Simulate a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environment
The success of a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment in improving student knowledge depends on factors like student attributes (e.g., ability and motivation) and elements of the CSCL environment (e.g., group size and group formation). Better understanding of the individual and combined effects of these factors on the learning outcome of students would help: (1) research...
