Abstract
The use of animated agents in computer based learning environments as a tutoring paradigm can
be benefic and increase the learners’ motivation. This paper discusses the premises under which
synthetic agents can be pedagogically effective as tutors in a collaborative learning environment.
This research is a follow-up of our previous investigation on usage of agent technology in distance
learning environments. This work will highlight a framework for creating believable synthetic agents.
