Abstract
Multimodal conversational agents have became a strong alternative to enhance educational systems with intelligent communicative capabilities. The combination of these systems with smart mobile devices have promoted in recent years more sophisticated human-machine interfaces that provide a more engaging and human-like relationship between users and the system. Among the different educational application domains, this combination allows developing enhanced digital libraries containing new types of multimedia contents, providing new interaction possibilities, and adapting this interaction taking into account the specific users requirements and preferences. In this paper we propose the practical application of multimodal conversational agents to develop advanced University Digital Libraries (UDL) adapted to the new interaction scenarios of mobile devices. Our proposal integrates features of Android APIs on a modular architecture that emphasizes interaction management to create robust applications, easily updated and adapted to the user.
