Abstract
The use of animated agents in computer based learning environments as a tutoring paradigm can be benefic and increase the learners´ motivation. This paper discusses the premises under which synthetic agents can be pedagogically effective as tutors in a collaborative learning environment. This research is a follow-up of our previous investigation on usage of agent technology in distance learning environments by Marin et al., (2005). This work highlights a framework for creating believable synthetic agents
