Description
The fourth version of SECRA is a website that simulates a conversation in the context of a helping situa-
tion. The scenarios on this website portray clientele who would use the services of various disciplines,
including psychology, nursing care, early childhood education and police technology.
The simulation allows the user to engage in a conversation with virtual characters, each with a dif-
ferent personal problem. During the conversation, the user plays the role of the helper in responding
to the virtual characters who are asking for help. The objective is to provide as much help as possible.
Multimedia aspects, such as voice and images, provide non-verbal clues to create a more realistic simu-
lation. At the end of each conversation, the user receives a report that reviews the dialogue, provides
statistics on the most frequent response choices and illustrates in graph form the course of the conver-
sation compared with that of a theoretically ideal conversation.
