Abstract
Operation ARIES! is an Intelligent Tutoring System that teaches research methodology in a game-like atmosphere. There is a dramatic storyline that engages and motivates students as they acquire both declarative knowledge and critical reasoning skills. ARIES has three modules in which students maintain mixed-initiative dialogue with multiple artificial agents. The internal architecture is similar to that of AutoTutor which uses natural language interaction in the tutorial dialogues. Learning as well as the engaging and motivating factors of ARIES are currently being investigated.
