Various research projects suggest to use intelligent agents inside Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). We have designed a new kind of agent (actor) to model the pedagogical expertise of ITS. Actors aim to help a student to learn using powerful cooperative pedagogical strategies. Such systems involve complex expertise that evolves continuously. To improve the knowledge acquisition process and to foster revision of expertise, we give the actors some learning abilities. The paper first describes how to use pedagogical actors to implement ITS. This involves three main points: the actor paradigm, the communication protocol with the domain-related material, and the representation of this material. The second part of the paper focuses on the learning abilities of actors. We discuss different learning approaches and illustrate one of them with an example involving two simple actors.
