In Mittelpunkt dieses EU-Forschungsprojekts stand die Entwicklung einer Lernsoftware, für die ich u.a. virtuelle Charaktere entwarf und in Adobe Flash implementierte.
Articulating thought in computer-based media is a powerful means for humans to develop their understanding of phenomena.
In this deliverable, we introduce three new virtual character support types (Critic, Quiz and Diagnosis) which are linked to different kinds of conceptual knowledge (such as semantic feedback or multiple choice questions) generated within the DynaLearn software.
Motivation is a critical requirement for successful learning. Previous research has identified that animated pedagogical agents can increase motivation.
DynaLearn develops a cognitive artefact that engages learners in an active learning by modelling process to develop conceptual system knowledge.
In this paper we present the cast of pedagogical agents in the DynaLearn Intelligent Learning Environment.
In this contribution we report on how we designed, created and evaluated a cast of virtual characters for the interactive learning environment "DynaLearn".
Careful selection of graphical design can push the narrative strength of graphical projects by adjusting the visual statements to the content-wise statements.
In this document we present two different use cases of the DynaLearn software which involve virtual characters: The Teachable Agent and the Basic Help.
This document presents the progress and effort made in the design of a dialog system for the virtual characters in DynaLearn.
There is a need for software that supports learners in actively dealing with theoretical concepts by having them créate models and perform concept prediction and explanation.
DynaLearn is an Interactive Learning Environment that facilitates a constructive approach to developing a conceptual understanding of how systems work.
This document presents the overall design and architecture of the DynaLearn system.
Based on the idea of a flexible applicable and entertaining theme a draft for a set of animal characters was created by UAU.
