Abstract

This paper describes the development process of a 3D virtual robot, called SurveyBot, capable of interacting with Second Life’s avatars and with an undergraduate programs evaluation survey web system, within the context of the IF-AL. Our SurveyBot aims at helping the IF-AL’s educational community to participate massively at the IF-AL’s Information System courses evaluation survey.
