DESCRIPTION:Abstract: For the past twenty years researchers have incorporat
 ed virtual characters\, including human-like representations known as virt
 ual humans\, into learning environments aiming to facilitate learning. Rec
 ently\, the field has been revitalized as technologies incorporating virtu
 al humans have become more common in everyday life. Researchers now often 
 examine how to most effectively design virtual humans for different contex
 ts. One of these lines of research focuses on how virtual humans are perce
 ived by learners. Theorists suggest that how we perceive these characters 
 can influence the learning process\, but it is not yet known which percept
 ions matter. Our recent experimental work has shown that the existing meas
 ures commonly used by researchers to evaluate the construct of ‘agent pers
 ona’ are poor predictors of learning. This talk will focus on what virtual
  humans are\, why they can be effective learning tools\, and the findings 
 of recent studies around the design of these systems.Event Webpage: https:
