Abstract :
A platform independent agent-based virtual educational environment (PIAVEE) is described. PIAVEE is conceptualized as a lightweight, flexible environment that links educational resources through a virtual data base and that is supported by an intelligent delivery system. PIAVEE is implemented through an evolutionary process, whose initial focus is the development of and access to, the virtual data base. The paper describes the initial implementations, which focus on proof of concept and basic level functionality.
