Integração de um agente conversacional ao objeto virtual de aprendizagem LASE

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to perform a study of the integration of a conversational agent into the virtual learning object LASE (Learning About Software Engineering), LASE is an object with the inten-tion of strengthening and modifying the teaching methods used in the classroom, bringing greater in-teractivity between the student and content developed in software engineering. The conversational agent is developed in AIML language based on XML, containing a knowledge base which was fed with several areas of software engineering, as well as standards already developed in ChatterBot A.L.I.C.E. The integration is done via HTML and through the resources made available by Pandorabots. In the research also a systematic review was developed with the objective of creating a study that was very concentrated in the educational context of Chatterbots. Validation was applied to software engineering students, and the integration of the agent based on the applied questionnaire was satisfactory.
