Abstract

On the world-wide-web we see a growing number of general HCI interfaces, interfaces to educational or entertainment systems, interfaces to professional environments, etc., where an animated face, a cartoon character or a human-like virtual agent has the task to assist the user, to engage the user into a conversation or to educate the user. What to say about the effects a human-like agent has on a student ’s performance? We discuss agents, their intelligence, embodiment and interaction modalities. In particular we introduce viewpoints and questions about roles embodied agents can play in educational environments.
