Modeling Intelligent Distance Education System Based On Agent

Abstract

Traditional research in distance education using agent technology is focused on system description, but lack of precise and detailed design specification. So they cannot satisfy the requirements for realizing a practical system. This paper studies intelligent distance education from a new point, focuses on agent's independent decision-making process; proposes a novel concept, namely education agent, argues its significance in construction of intelligent distance education system; in order to explain the concept clearly, formally defines multi-agent distance education system 's abstract concept model, which is made up of three sub-concept models, they are education environment, education process and education agent; finally, on the basis of concept model, designs student and teacher agent's architecture, which can directly lead to practical software implementation.
