Abstract
The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that animated pedagogical agents can promote constructivist learning in a discovery-based learning environment. We do this by first, comparing the learning outcomes of students who learn in the context of social interaction with a computer-mediated character with the learning outcomes of students who learn in a computer text context. Second, we focus on the relative contributions of pedagogical agents' image, voice, and language style in promoting deeper learning.
