Improving interoperability among learning objects using FIPA agent communication framework

Abstract

The reusability of learning material is based on three main features: modularity, discoverability and interoperability. Several researchers on Intelligent Learning Environments have proposed the use of architectures based on agent societies. Learning systems based on Multi-Agent architectures support the development of more interactive and adaptable systems and the Learning Objects approach gives reusability. We proposed an approach where learning objects are built based on agent architectures. This paper discusses how the Intelligent Learning Objects approach can be used to improve the interoperability between learning objects and pedagogical agents.
