Abstract

Riding on the back of the rapid expansion of the Internet, online virtual worlds which combine the prowess of interactive digital media and social networks have attained a high level of acceptance among the Net Generation users. This development prompted researchers to look into the potential of embedding learning contents into virtual worlds to create virtual learning environments (VLEs) that suit the need of the Net Generation learners. However, the special characteristics of virtual worlds that make them popular also pose great challenges to educators who wish to leverage their power. These challenges call for more sophisticated human computer interaction (HCI) mechanisms to assist learners to navigate the intriguing landscape of VLEs. In this paper, we demonstrate a teachable remembrance agent which acts as an intelligent user interface to provide innovative ways for students to interact with VLEs.
