The EducAgent Platform: Intelligent Conversational Agents for E-Learning Applications

In this paper, we describe a multi-agent system developed for teaching support and student’s self-learning. The main objective of the EducAgent platform is the creation of an innovative virtual space following the principles of the European Higher Education Area to make subjects and e-learning initiatives to become a more flexible, participatory and attractive space. One of the most important characteristics of the developed platform is to facilitate a more natural interaction between the system and students by means of conversational agents. We describe the main features of the EducAgent platform and its application in the new European Computer Science Degree at the Carlos III University of Madrid.
