Su Fang Lim, Ailiya, Chunyan Miao, Zhiqi Shen · 2014
A persuasive teachable agent (PTA) is a pedagogical agent which uses persuasion to encourage positive learning attitudes and behaviors in student tutors. This paper presents a life-like animated autonomous PTA in the 3D Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) which makes use of the Goal Net agent model and persuasion theory. The PTA aims to autonomously exert social influence on the student tutors, encouraging them to teach the PTA. A case study is also presented to illustrate our approach.
