Abstract

Recently, Italian Universities promoted interventions in order to improve tutoring and orientation services for students during their course of studies. The main aim of this directive was to support each student with personalized solution to their problems. In this paper we present MyTutor, an Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) that can be consulted on the student personal device and has the main aim to assist him/her during their studies by providing suggestions regarding the student problems. The paper discusses the design and technical issues involved in developing the architecture of this agent and the plan for evaluation.
