Assessment with computer agents that engage in conversational dialogues and trialogues with learners

作者：

Highlights：

• Computer agents interact with humans in dialogues and trialogues with two agents.

• Intelligent agents reliably analyze many but not all aspects of natural language.

• Human tutoring has systematic discourse patterns that can be simulated by agents.

• Intelligent tutoring systems with agents improve learning of difficult content.

• Computer agents are used in conversation-based formative and summative assessments.
