Abstract

This paper presents a model of pedagogical negotiation developed for the AMPLIA, an Intelligent Probabilistic Multi-agent Learning Environment. Three intelligent software agents: Domain Agent, Learner Agent and Mediator Agent were developed using Bayesian Networks and Influence Diagrams. The goal of the negotiation model is to increase, as much as possible: (a) the performance of the model the students build; (b) the confidence that teachers and tutors have in the students’ ability to diagnose cases; and the students’ confidence on their own ability to diagnose cases; and (c) the students’ confidence on their own ability to diagnose diseases.
