Abstract
This article discusses the aspects that are recommendable when designing an interface that includes a collaborative pedagogical agent within a context in which the collaborative learning process is reinforced by the task distribution process that goes with it. The concept of the intelligent tutoring system, conceived as a pedagogical interface agent (interface with human features that permits interaction between system and user), forms the basis of this study. The pedagogical agent is constituted by an intelligent tutoring system that makes a diagnosis adapted to needs of students, so as to improve the learning process. This is achieved by dynamic interaction on a system that has a collaborative and distributed interaction facility, in which the agent is conceived as an educational tool.
