Abstract

The effectiveness of pedagogical agents, in terms of their believability and adaptivity, in mixed-initiative learning environments can be considerably affected by the "timing" of agents' actions. This paper describes an approach to manage time thresholds, which takes into account the response "style" of each individual learner. The proposed approach has provided very positive results in the context of an agent-based, mixed-initiative learning environment, which we are currently developing.
