Agendamento de atividades apoiado por sistema multiagente em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem

Abstract

The use of virtual learning environments used in distance learning courses, is increasingly present in education. However, some issues need to be improved in these environments, for example, monitoring of schedules. We report an investigation on the monitoring of scheduled activities in these environments to support virtual communities. We discuss the problem with monitoring schedules, ie the domain and display of appointments in a virtual learning environment by proposing a prototype for this schedule supported by Multiagent System. The objective of the proposed model is to perform the scheduling of synchronous activities undertaken by participants and mediators. Each user can set their availability environment in order to scheduling individual or group meetings, with the purpose to keep the user informed of the appointments, making daily tasks easier and visible in the virtual learning environment.
