Abstract

We present the design of a cast of pedagogical agents impersonating different educational roles in an interactive virtual learning environment. Teams of those agents are used to create different learning scenarios in order to provide learners with an engaging and motivating learning experience. Authors can employ an easy to use multimodal dialog authoring tool to adapt lecture and dialog content as well as interaction management to meet their respective requirements.
