IntroductionIntroduction
► Learning-by-teaching is an open-ended and self-directed activity Exploratory and constructivist learning Good learners bring structure to a domain by
asking the right questions Good teachers build on the learners’ knowledge
to organize information
► Learning by teaching paradigmLearning by teaching paradigm Students teach computer agentsStudents teach computer agents
Learning by Teaching: previous Learning by Teaching: previous workwork
► Limitation Limitation knowledge structures is difficult to uncover, analyze,
and learn outcome feedback is less effective than cognitive fee
dback►On the positive
increased motivation► suggestion
use metacognitive strategies to promote learning
A new approach: Betty’s BrainA new approach: Betty’s Brain
► Structure of the learner-as-teacherStructure of the learner-as-teacher► Embody 4 principles of designEmbody 4 principles of design
Teach through visual representations that organize the reasoning structures
well-known teaching interactions to organize student activity
The agents have independent performances that provide feedback on how well they have been taught
Low start-up costs of teaching the agent
A new approach: Betty’s BrainA new approach: Betty’s Brain

► Four agentsFour agents the teachable agent, Betty the mentor agent, Mr. Davis the student agent the environment agent
► All agents interact through the Environment Agent
► Each agent only contacts to the Environment Agent
