This paper describes and discusses the importance of having a representation which models the key factors associated to the requirements of an animated pedagogical agent for an interactive learning environment, in particularly, for school students. The IPO (Input-Process-Output) relationships are proposed to address this issue. The formulation of IPO relationship are described in detail and the application of IPO relationship is shown through the case study of specifying the requirements of an animated pedagogical agent for a web-based learning environment for primary school students to learn science.

Keywords: animated pedagogical agents; Input-Process-Output (IPO) relationships; requirements

Domains: Technology for Human Learning
