Research into Learning in an Intelligent Agent Augmented Multi-user Virtual Environment

This paper describes ongoing learning and intelligent agent research involving a new class of educational Interactive and Digital Media (IDM) that integrates computational intelligent agents with the functionality and affordances of 3D Multi-User Virtual Environment (MUVE). This research builds upon a proof-of-concept VIRTUAL SINGAPURA immersive learning environment project. Ongoing technical development work and planned learning research are described.
