Description
Summary:Narrative-based environments utilize various forms of knowledge to provide an interactive space for the learner and the virtual agent to collaborate in accomplishing the learning goals. In this paper, we present the design of a semantic ontology that provides the necessary domain-based conceptual knowledge to allow a virtual peer to engage in storytelling as a form of exchange with the learner. We then show how the ontology was utilized to support the virtual peer in performing its tasks, which include generating interactive stories that teach about appropriate social behavior, and engaging in a text-based dialogue with the learner. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.
