Abstract:
In this paper we present a proposal of an Intelligent Tutoring Systems equipped with dialogue in natural language to facilitate student interaction with the learning environment, provide hints and answer students’ questions. This system is designed to be integrated with a 2D/3D virtual environment for procedural training, where it can maintain a dialogue with students adapted to the context. Our notion of context comprises: the specific features of the student; his/her progress in the development of the task; and the virtual environment where it is performed. The dialogue will be controlled by a dialogue manager, built on Watson Assistant, which has been chosen for its versatility. Additionally, we present an application example that describes the operation of the modules that constitute the proposed approach. Then, we provide some indications on how it will be evaluated with students shortly.
