This presentation will discuss techniques for incorporating “guidebots,” or animated pedagogical agents, into Web-based learning environments. Guidebots help keep learning on track; they offer students advice and guidance as appropriate in order to get the most out on-line learning experiences. Guidebots build on research in intelligent tutoring systems, but go further by engaging the learner in natural face-to-face interaction. Guidebots can stand on the side and discuss learning objectives with the learners; they also can work together with learners as teammates, and can play roles within interactive educational stories. They help bring the aesthetics of animated entertainment to interactive educational experiences. This talk will present recent developments in guidebot technology, and outline challenges for current research.
