Abstract

This paper presents an Interface Agent (IAg) in the context of collaborative software agents aiming at improving the interaction, interactivity and decision-making processes in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). Working collaboratively in a multi-agent system, IAg receives notifications about situations that require interaction with students to assist and motivate them in the processes of navigation and use of VLE. In order to assist decision-making processes, it provides dashboards that enable the human tutor and VLE coordinators to make real-time decisions about non-normal situations. In addition, it monitors the actions of students seeking for clarifying doubts, utilizing a knowledge based on past situations. With this approach it is expected to enable a more attractive environment to students by reducing feelings of demotivation and isolation, and helping to reduce student dropout.
