Abstract
Here we present an automated mechanism used by a human coach in the decision making process to enhance teams replacing a human member with an Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA). The IVA called PANCHO (Pedagogical AgeNt to support Collaborative Human grOups) will join the human group with the aim of improving the performance of the team —inspired by the Team Roles Theory— and providing scaffolding to the trainees during the task execution. PANCHO´s architecture —an emotional architecture— is also described briefly.
