  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is a learning theory that emphasizes collaboration and teamwork to solve a problem. However, a problem that frequently occurs in the implementation of PBL is the presence of passive students who usually have difficulty working in teams or who are unmotivated during the process of teaching and learning. An aspect that can positively influence the implementation process of the PBL is the recommendation of context-sensitive learning objects (LOs). Thus, this paper presents an approach based on an animated pedagogical agent and three other agents for the detection of passive students and for the recommendation of LOs in accordance with the students' context to improve the learning proce
