Abstract

The application of virtual experiment changes the traditional mode of education, and makes a fundamental change in the teaching and learning methods. Virtual experiments can effectively overcome a lot of difficulties of practical teaching in schools. Interaction and intelligence of virtual experiment environment is essential. This paper discusses a number of issues on intelligent guidance in virtual experiment, and presents a model for virtual experiment Intelligent Guidance System based on Multi-Agent. Finally, a running example is shown.
