Abstract

While many capabilities of pedagogical agent have been discussed before, a useful function for such an agent is to have an enhanced searching and analyzing ability for unstructured information from the glossary or Internet. We extend the pedagogical agent framework from a generic one to enhance its searching ability. In the context of a cognitive tutor for teaching scientific topics, we present a prototype of a pedagogical agent which combines the Web Metadata Extractor to search the relevant web pages and acquire the organized metadata information.
