‣ SW is aimed at giving online information meaning
‣ It is based on a set of well-defined standards
‣Many e-Learning problems can be solved with the help of SW: metadata standardization, content and model sharing and reuse, access to other SW components and technologies, etc.

‣ ..avatars, virtual characters
‣ Learning/teaching is a social process => a systems needs a personality
‣Benefits:
‣ Increased motivation
‣ Increased sense of comfort
‣ Stimulation of essential learning behaviours
‣ Enhanced flow of information and communication
‣ ..
‣Diversity:
‣ virtual vs. robotic
‣ animated vs. static
‣ teaching vs. teachable
