ETOILE - an Environment for Team, Organizational and Individual Learning in Emergencies

Discusses several aspects of the ETOILE (Environment for Team Organizational and Individual Learning in Emergencies) system, which may be considered to be a knowledge networked environment. These aspects are: authoring, the combination of agents and the integration of knowledge sources (databases of external simulators), the visualization of behaviour in a 3D virtual environment, the design of the human-agent interface, and the modelling, description and assessment of human behaviour. Based on our experiences in the ETOILE project, conclusions are drawn for the design of a knowledge networked environment for learning purposes.
