This paper presents a system called Cyberscience dedicated to distance education. The learning interface of Cyberscience includes a component consisting in activating an interactive multimedia simulation in which the student can carry out direct manipulation tasks making the simulation a virtual laboratory (vitual lab in short). A virtual lab for genetic study is currently realized. As an intelligent distance learning system, Cyberscience includes a number of intelligent learning agents that operates in the space of the virtual lab in order to help students to achieve their goals. This paper presents an overview of those agents.
