角色扮演练习是项目管理教学的有效方法，其中每个学生集中精力扮演虚拟项目中定义的利益相关者的角色，从自己的角色角度解决问题，及时共享信息。本文建议在在线角色扮演练习中引入软件代理，充当导师并向学生提供适当的提示。对基于该方法的角色扮演练习中收集的日志数据进行分析表明，旨在鼓励学生采取适当行动的座席评论对学生的积极影响率为0.7，表明座席评论有效地引导学生朝教师认为期望的方向发展。对学生采取期望行动程度的定量评估表明，参加有软件代理的角色扮演练习的学生比没有代理的角色扮演练习的学生得分高出 74%，证实了所提出的角色扮演练习方法的有效性。
Role-play exercise is an effective method of teaching project management, in which each student concentrates on playing the role of a stakeholder defined in a virtual project to solve problems from the perspective of his/her role, sharing information in a timely fashion. This paper proposes the introduction of a software agent in on-line role-play exercises, to act as a mentor and provide appropriate hints to students. The analysis of the log data collected from role-play exercises based on the proposed method shows that the ratio of positive influence of the agent's comments, which are designed to encourage students to take appropriate actions, on the students was 0.7, indicating that the agent's comments are effective in guiding the students in the direction thought to be desirable by the instructor. A quantitative evaluation of the extent to which the students took desirable actions shows that the students who participated in a role-play exercise with the software agent present earned scores which were 74% better than those in a role-play exercise without the agent, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed role-play exercise method.
