Abstract

This paper describes StoryStation, an intelligent tutoring system designed to give ten to twelve year old children feedback on their creative writing. The feedback is presented via eight animated interface agents. Each agent gives a different sort of support to the writer including: a thesaurus, a dictionary, feedback on vocabulary and characterisation, help with spelling, help with plot structure, example stories to read and help with the interface itself. This paper focuses on the strategies for generating feedback to the children and discusses some issues in presenting this feedback through the interface agents.
