Abstract
El desarrollo de la Web 2.0 y el gran interés alcanzado por las redes sociales ha posibilitado la introducción de un gran número de aplicaciones y entornos educativos que posibilitan nuevas formas de comunicación e interacción entre sus usuarios. En este contexto, los mundos virtuales y los agentes conversacionales facilitan la creación de entornos educativos que intensifican la percepción entre sus usuarios y que proporcionan una comunicación más natural y adaptada a las características y preferencias específicas de cada usuario. En este artículo describimos un sistema multiagente desarrollado para el apoyo a la docencia y el aprendizaje autónomo de los alumnos. A través del sistema, se presenta a los alumnos casos y problemas que deben resolver, y que posibilitan además la autoevaluación de su aprendizaje, especialmente en iniciativas de tele-educación y realización de cursos on-line. La plataforma EducAgent se ha desarrollado en la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid dentro de la Convocatoria de Apoyo a Experiencias de Innovación e Internacionalización Docente. El objetivo principal del proyecto es la creación de un espacio virtual innovador basado en los postulados del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, que haga de las asignaturas y cursos on-line un espacio más flexible, participativo y atractivo
With the development of so-called Web 2.0 and the great interest and extension that social networks have now reached, a large number of e-learning environments and applications that originate new forms of communication and interaction among users have been quickly introduced. Within this framework, virtual worlds and conversational agents facilitate the creation of educative applications that intensify the perception between their users and provide a more natural communication adapted to the characteristics and specific preferences of each user. In this paper, we describe a multi-agent system developed for teaching support and student’s self-learning. The main objective of the EducAgent platform is the creation of an innovative virtual space following the principles of the European Higher Education Area to make subjects and e-learning initiatives to become a more flexible, participatory and attractive space. One of the most important characteristics of the developed platform is to facilitate a more natural interaction between the system and students by means of conversational agents. We describe the main features of the EducAgent platform and its application in the new European Computer Science Degree at the Carlos III University of Madrid.
