Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we analyse the psychological facets that a virtual pedagogical agent needs to incorporate in the
context of a 3D virtual environment to maximise the effectiveness in the learner instruction. Interesting
psychological facets are personality traits, emotions, motivation and attention. The attitudes towards the
learner (confidence level, expectations or reputation level) has the most relevant impact, influencing both
how the tutoring actions are performed as well as their configuration. |
