Integrating Agents into Teleteaching-Webportals

The aim of the project is to combine an existing agent system for mobile agents with a web portal in practical use for teleteaching/telelearning. This combination of web portals and agents yields a number of advantages for users, such as automatic notification of different events, autonomous handling of simple tasks and supporting the teaching/learning process. The main issues in the project are the integration of agents into web portals for teleteaching, implementing agent-based support for coaching processes, identifying security issues particular to this combination, and evaluating this use with regard to acceptance and utility for learners and teachers. In addition to this, legal aspects of teleteaching web portals in general and those arising from combining them with agents in particular (data protection, liability for acts of agents, copyright, links) will be investigated in this project.
