Abstract
During the last decade, learning management systems (LMS) have become a useful tool for students and teachers seeking to assist virtual learning processes. The aim of this paper is to present a proposal for the design and integration of a learning companion agent within the Claroline LMS intended to foster collaboration, assistance, support, and motivation of students. Using a role-based design method a learning companion agent was built having three main roles: Competitor, Fault Detector, and Collaborator. Through these roles the platform provides student-centered responses, educational resources, and the possibility to interact within a healthy competition learning environment. The companion agent was implemented and validated through a case study that includes a test virtual course and assessments for several registered students. It can be concluded that using a companion agent students become aware of their learning failures and overall performance of the virtual course.
