Abstract

Quizzes refer to a useful assessment method that assesses overall about what has been taught. Quizzes devised from various interactive ways are capable of encouraging students to pay closer attention and indirectly improve their comprehension towards the subject. Hence, two-dimensional (2D) virtual agent multimedia quiz application (app) was developed. Accordingly, a 2D female virtual agent with Malaysia's native look had been designed to perform the quiz through the app. The quiz app is composed of 20 multiple-choice questions. The targeted participants who took this quiz were from fourth and fifth semester students from electrical engineering department of Malaysia polytechnics. The quiz app was developed based on several theories, principles, and literature overview. The quiz app drives with different functions through several screens namely home, question, feedback, hint, reward and review screens. Additionally, this paper reports the outcomes of usability and user satisfaction based on the tests conducted.

Students' Satisfaction on the Design of Kawaii Style Pedagogical Agent in the Virtual Learning Environment

“…Pedagogical agents are animated virtual characters that play human instructional roles in an educational environment (Saadatzi et al, 2017;Vicneas and Zamzuri, 2020). Hence, pedagogical agents reside within the digital space of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to facilitate students' engagement in the learning process (Hong, Chen and Lan, 2014;Liew, Zin and Sahari, 2017;Vicneas, Zamzuri and Kaliyamah, 2018). In recent years, pedagogical agents have been gaining influence in education as a tool to enhance teaching and learning processes (Veletsianos, 2010;Vicneas and Zamzuri, 2020).…”
