AtGentive stands for Attentive Agents for Collaborative Learners. It is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STReP) under European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme, coordinated by User:Nabeth at CALT (the Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies), INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France.
Project number: IST-4-027529-STP Duration: December 2005 - December 2007
The objective of the AtGentive project was to investigate the use of artificial agents for supporting the management of the attention of young or adult learners in the context of individual and collaborative learning environments . Practically, this project consists in the design of artificial agents (that are able to coach the learners in reaching higher level of performance in managing their attention in the learning process. These agents, which appear as embedded characters, are able to profile the (short or long term ) state of the attention of the learners by observing their actions, to assess, to analyse and to reason on these states of attention, and to provide some proactive coaching (assessment, guidance, stimulation, etc.).
These attentive agents have be designed and delivered as part of two different learning infrastructure/contexts:
- (1) AtGentSchool: an artificial characters enhanced eLearning platform for child education;
- (2) AtGentNet: an advanced virtual community platform supporting knowledge exchange in knowledge communities.
The result of this project have been validated with two pilot sites:
- A school pilot (provided by CELN)
- A learning network of managers from SMEs (provided by STC, the Swedish Trade Council)
