Technology Description

Technical approach We elected to build our evaluation agent outside of the MOO, as a robot that logs into the MOO and monitors student activities. This gave us a great deal of freedom in implementation.
Technical challenges The major technical challenges arose due to the distributed nature of the components and the high bandwidth required to support the detailed reporting on the progress of the simulation.
Hard/New/Different What is new and different about this system was the Web-centric nature of the real-time student modeling. Not only was the system distributed across the web but, in real time, the model was able to notify a teacher via email that a student was having problems.
