Implementation of Atgentive compontents within AtGentSchool

Flow for attentional support

Changes within AtGentSchool

• Context / registration of:• User current tasks• Logging served interventions• ‘small’ Learnermodel: age and level

• Projectscreen:• Central screen for the overal activities (= workflow)• Capturing the progress “what activity is next”

• Agent• Follows intervention model• With 1 modality

Step 1. Introduce yourself

Step 2. Set a goal

Step 3. Make the mind map

Step 4. Discover

Step 5. Answering the questionaire

Task model

The intervention model

• Interventions based on a type:• MetaCognition – learning proces• Cognition – content• Behavioural - navigate within the system• Motivational – Motivate with interaction

MetaCognive interventions

Goal: support the student in constructing a better understanding of tasks and their relation

with the main assignment.

MC – Orientation Start taskMC – Explaination Start task / continuation

MC – Monitoring End task

MC Introduction – Step Introduction

MC – Explanation – Step setting your goal

MC Monitoring – Step Introduction

MC Monitoring – Step setting your goal

MC Introduction – Step Mindmap

Cognitive interventions

Goal: to adjust / explain the learning activity at hand to support the learner with its current task.

C Support – Explanation of the contentC Resources – additional explanation

(eg soluitions of other users

C Support – Step Introduction

C Support – Step introduction

Motivational interventions

Goal : to support and motivate the user by interaction with the agent.

Motivation suport – incentivesEmotional – happy, sad, neutral reactions &

quesions

Motivational - Sad

Behavioural interventions

Goal: direct the user towards simple behavioural user actions (based on application events).

Behavioural – external eventsBehavioural – navigational support

Behavioural – Navigational check

Behavioural – Lost

Development of the next generation

Questions raised after the Czech pilot“a first Feedback – loop”

26

• Why did the students perform better on more complex tasks and is there only a small difference in the easy tasks?

• How can we further support students; when is more help needed?

• What are the individual differences between students and how could we incorporate this in the support of the agent?

Need for further experiments to construct a ‘product’.

Requirements futher developmentFlexibility

27

• More configurations possibilities within Ontdeknet• Creating project screens; task models• Usage of external content within the project screen• Registration of learner model and adjust agents

interventions• Usage of project screen within external ELO’s

• Better configuration of the Reasoning module• Editing the intervention model• Specifying business rules for the interventions

Results

28

• Ontdeknet improvements:• New projectscreens (more different templates)• Create your own projectscreen (integration of external

content)• Add-in player for other ELO’s

Development AtGentschool 2/3

29

• Improved Agent Management System (AMS)• Intervention templates• Visualizing the flow - charts

Development tested in AtGentschool 2nd pilot

30

• Focus on new configurations with 3 conditions:• Control• Experimental 1• Experimental 2

• 2nd Pilot in the Netherlands• 3 schools• 156 pupils (54 groups with 3 pupils)• 3 conditions: control, experimental 1 en experimental 2.
