Affective teachable agent in virtual learning environment by Borjigin, Ailiya

“…When a student teaches the agent, the agent is performed as a “naive” learning companion, and when an educator teaches the agent during the design and maintenance time, the agent can perform as an authoring tool. To facilitate the involvement of educators into the game design, we develop an authoring tool for proposed ATA system, which can encapsulate the technical details and provide educational experts a natural way to convey domain knowledge to agent’s knowledge base. …”
