Abstract

In the conventional teaching, teaching assistances (TAs) play importance roles in supporting a teacher’s teaching activities. This paper presents a Web-based teacher assisting agent system in which a set of automated programs, so called agents in this context, is developed. It is described that how the agents are generated, where they reside, and how they work independently or collaborate with each other to assist a teacher. It is emphasized that a later developed working agent can be easily incorporated into the system under the developed system framework. It is addressed that both agent persistency and mobility in the system can be achieved by the proposed mechanisms.
