Abstract

The research reported in this article presents a cooperative virtual web-based learning environment aimed at supporting teaching on the musical harmony domain. Such an environment has been developed to support courses in both web distance and regular classroom learning. The aim of this work is to integrate artificial and human agents in an interactive learning environment. This environment includes a multi-agent tutoring system that itself includes a digital library and hypermedia documents, which are concerned with the Harmony Trees Theory. Our purpose is to provide learners and teachers with the means to have productive pedagogical interactions mediated by a computer system. The system is modelled as a society of artificial tutoring agents.
