We propose goal-based agents attached to networked applications and learning environments
to support user's work and learning. Users, learners, applications and learning
environments are represented by autonomous goal-based social agents which communicate,
cooperate, and compete in a multi-system and multi-user distributed environment. This
approach allows to consider in a uniform way working, adaptation to the user's goals and
preferences, level of experience and available resources, as well as teaching the user
using various teaching paradigms (consrtuctivist or instructivist). In addition it allows
taking into account of user's /learner's motivation and affect; as well as a coherent
discussion of teaching strategies.
