EVA: Collaborative Distributed Learning Environment Based in Agents
Leonid Sheremetov, Rolando Quintero · 2001
In this paper, a Web-based learning environment developed within the project called Virtual Learning Spaces (EVA, in Spanish) is presented. The environment is composed of knowledge, collaboration, consulting, experimentation and personal spaces as a collection of agents and conventional software components working over the knowledge domains. All user interfaces are Web pages, generated dynamically by servlets and agents. Each EVA host has an agent associated with it, which can establish links with the other EVA hosts forming shared knowledge and collaboration space of a distributed EVA learning environment. The article focuses on the description of the system architecture, implementation of software modules, and the application results.
