But as online learning becomes more and more popular, educators are warning that a teaching environment without some kind of face-to-face interaction isn't suited for every kind of degree level or course. For instance, they feel that graduate students are better able to handle the lack of personal interaction than undergraduates who need the sense of community that being on campus offers.

CONT

Recent years have witnessed the birth of a new paradigm for learning environments, animated pedagogical agents. These lifelike autonomous characters cohabit learning environments with students to create rich face to face learning interactions This opens up exciting new possibilities, for example agents can demonstrate complex tasks, employ locomotion and gesture to focus students attention on the most salient aspect of the task at hand and convey emotional responses to the tutorial situation.
