This paper presents our current work in the UCAT project (Ubiquitous Collaborative Adaptive Training) concerned with setting up a multimodal, multilingual and adaptive dialogue system. The system goal is toassist teachers and students in some of their usual activities within an educational space (e.g. a University Faculty). The user-system interaction is carried out by means of speech, text, graphics and direct manipulation, either in English or Spanish. The system is adaptive as the interaction is carriedout considering the user preferences previously stored in a user- profile database. The interaction is ubiquitous as the system takes intoaccount the environment in which the user is interacting. Also, we plan the system can operate automatically some environment devices (e.g. professor offices’lights). The paper describes the architecture, current setting up and usage of the system, and sets out possibilities for future work.
