Integrating Intelligent Software Agents into Collaborative Environments to Support Organizational Learning

  • Conference paper
BIS 2000

Abstract

The use of computers in networked, collaborative learning is increasing. Many applications are evolving towards highly interactive collaborative environments for learning. Another trend is observable: features that traditionally have been developed for e-business might support adaptive learning systems and they provide a platform for collaborative actions among learners. In this paper we will discuss those aspects related to the use of intelligent software agents in shared learning environments to support collaboration and knowledge construction.
