Abstract :
We developed a generic teaching environment that uses agents to support learning. An agent platform developed in our research group is used. The system is generic in the sense that the cognition core (domain model, student model and instruction model) is separated from the exercise modules and user interfaces. The architecture allows different user interfaces. An application of the environment for nurse training has been implemented.
