Abstract

This paper shows how a multi-agent systems (MAS) approach may be used to build an interactive intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed as a game. We model the ITS as a society of both reactive and cognitive agents that interact through a graphical interface. We present an experiment carried out in a school in order to test our hypothesis about the architecture´s pedagogical potential, and we present the results obtained
