Abstract
The research and development of an educational agent are commonly focused on the pedagogical aspect; the main objective is to automate the teaching activity, to replace the teacher in virtual learning environment. Our goal is different: it is to create a non pedagogical intelligent assistant that follows students during their learning to prevent dropout. This assistant can be compared to a coach, a motivator, or a mentor that motivates, encourages, and helps students to overcome their difficulties.
