Abstract

This work originated as a research proposal for a graduate dissertation at the School of Computer Science of the UNLP. The product is currently being used in the AulasWeb virtual teaching and learning environment, which is based on Moodle. A virtual character is used in the activities and resources selector as a supplement to help educators include activities in virtual classrooms. The results obtained in experiences in real classes and the new modifications added to the character are also discussed.
