论文摘要
本文描述了一个案例研究以及从原型的智能虚拟代理（IVA）中获得的见解，用于英语词汇建筑，用于讲西班牙语的学龄前儿童。在初步探索以评估开发IVA的可行性之后，我们遵循以人为中心的设计（HCD）方法来创建原型。我们报告了使用两个众所周知的教育概念的多学科过程：游戏化和讲故事作为参与的主要组成部分。我们的结果表明，开发教育IVA的多学科方法是有效的。我们报告构想和设计过程的相关方面，这些方面为项目的愿景和使命提供了信息。
This paper describes a case study and the insights gained from prototyping an Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA) for English vocabulary building for Spanish-speaking preschool children. After an initial exploration to evaluate the feasibility of developing an IVA, we followed a Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach to create a prototype. We report on the multidisciplinary process used that incorporated two well-known educative concepts: gamification and story-telling as the main components for engagement. Our results suggest that a multidisciplinary approach to developing an educational IVA is effective. We report on the relevant aspects of the ideation and design processes that informed the vision and mission of the project.
