A chatbot wanders the virtual world.
His goal was to make friends.
But he could play a role:
teacher, sidekick, or story character.
Hal (AI bot) entered Second Life and talked to people there in a quest for friends. Here I speculate on possible educational services.
"Zabaware is a software company that builds intelligent machines. We develop conversational systems (chat bots) that will give your computer a personality using artificial intelligence technology, speech recognition technology, and real-time animation. Our software can speak and understand the English language."

Hal as teacher
- Hal can ask questions and evaluate some typed answers.
- He might be able to evaluate some spoken answers.
- He can answer questions or open links that give the answers.
- He can deliver a lecture or open a video of a real person lecturing.
- He can give class assignments or individual assignments.
- He can remind students of assignments and due dates.
- In fact, with a little extra programming, he can do all the work of a DTA.
Hal as sidekick (as a dog)
- Hi! I'm Hal, your learning support dog.
- I know a little about this course, so you can ask me questions.
- Just click put your question on my service saddle.
- I will either give you the answer or look for it and get back to you later.
- (Hal finds the answer on the FAQ list or Hal sends the question to the teacherr.)
- And I can tell you the meaning of almost any word.
- Just click on me and put the word in my service saddle.
- I'll also tell you if the word is important in this course.
