One of the ultimate research goals for Artificial Intelligence is the design of life-like intelligent characters that can interact with us in virtual environments. Si's research explores interactive narratives -- virtual environments that allow a user to play a character in a story and interact with other autonomous characters driven by AI. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in building such virtual environments for pedagogical and entertainment purposes. The design of interactive narrative faces many challenges, where the central challenge arises from the incorporation of interactivity into narrative. User interactivity leads to many alternative paths through the story. Keeping track of all these paths, and making sure that both the story and the portrayal of characters are self-consistent and consistent with the author's intentions, becomes increasingly difficult as the user is given more freedom to interact. Typically, this issue has been addressed by extensive programming effort that hand-tailors the experience. However, the authors of interactive narratives are often not, and should not be restricted to programmers. In this talk, Si presents a multi-agent framework, Thespian, for modeling intelligent virtual characters, monitoring and managing their interactions with the user <b>...</b>

The three types of interaction are built into eFront to accomplish certain learning objectives. eFront is a Content Management System (CMS), a user friendly, visually attractive, open source software package, which is SCORM certified. Join eFronters Online Community efronters.ning.com Moore (1989) believes that interaction is a central component of online education and he describes three types of interaction 1. Learner to content, 2. Learner to instructor, and 3. Learner to learner The learner to content interaction refers to the interaction between the learner and the content or subject matter. Moore believes that if a learner interacts with the content/subject matter, then changes in the learner's understanding occur. The learner to instructor interaction refers to the interaction between the learner and an instructor, tutor, mentor, or content expert. The second type of interaction occurs via print, electronic dialog, e-mail, computer conferencing, or electronic online classroom discussions. The learner to learner interaction can occur outside of or in group settings with or without an instructor present. The third type of interaction occurs when learners engage in discussion moderated by the instructor. At the same time, learners' groups may be given responsibility to act autonomously for conducting group projects, or other forms of group-lead activities. To conclude, collaborative learning typically involves all three interaction formats. eFront offers fifteen <b>...</b>
