摘要：This paper describes a framework for practical application of interface agent technology as means of solving some persistent problems in educational environments. The system that has been developed is called a Computer Virus Educational System Using Animated Pedagogical Agent or CAPA. CAPA will cover a range of subjects from learning the basics computer virus to handling and management of computer system in response to virus attacks. When integrated into more conventional web-based course support system, a pedagogical interface agent can provide an educational environment which is not only flexible and interactive, but also personalized, emotionally responsive, and adaptive to a student's unique needs for structured learning and feedback. The CAPA agents would perform three main functions within the course of support application namely as a tutor, an expert and a motivator.

As an expert, it helps direct the student through the learning environment in the manner revered by users as professional in the field. Lastly, as a moderator it displays some emotional responsiveness and problem solving capability. CAPA tries to create a computer-based environment that learners will perceive a student to agent relationship with the computer.
