Evaluating an Animated Pedagogical Agent
Antonija Mitrović, Pramuditha Suraweera · 2000
Abstract. The paper presents SmartEgg, an animated pedagogical agent developed for SQLT-Web, an intelligent SQL tutor on the Web. It has been shown in previous studies that pedagogical agents have a significant motivational impact on students. Our hypothesis was that even a very simple and constrained agent, like SmartEgg, would enhance learning. We report on an evaluation study that confirmed our hypothesis. 1
