Technologies that power pedagogical agents and visions for the future
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents a vision of intelligent learning systems that use sensitive and effective pedagogical agents to deliver personal and individualized tutoring or therapy. The systems and their underlying technologies need to be powerful, yet flexible enough to deliver a wide range of media-rich interventions to individuals with vastly different needs across environments as diverse as classrooms, clinics, community centers and homes. We describe challenges faced by researchers to develop such agents and systems, and describe the capabilities of current systems designed to teach children to read or provide speech therapy to individuals with Parkinson’s disease or aphasia.
