“…Maes proposed a means of complementing direct manipulation with indirect manipulation, where the user collaborated with an agent to achieve a task. The metaphor of a personal assistant was suggested to illustrate a series of agents that supported a user in managing the work and information overload [15]. For example, a user could delegate the effective management of email or the responsibility of scheduling a meeting to an agent.…”

In this paper we look at awareness systems that use mobile and ambient devices for collecting or presenting awareness information and operate within an Ambient Intelligence Environment. Our focus is on Pervasive Awareness Systems (PAS) that mediate awareness with the aim to improve the feeling of being connected. In particular, we concentrate on the challenges that are connected to participation in multiple communities, requiring a continuous balancing between the need to "keep in touch" and to reduce interruptions. In the paper, we discuss software agents as a possible solution and identify the different roles that agents can play in reducing interruptions.

“…Tais agentes, os quais já estão sendo utilizados para auxiliar a avaliação, em casos específicos, em cursos determinados, com relação a textos, começam a possuir uma filtragem que é bastante factível com o uso de agentes de interface (MAES, 1994;BALDASSIN et al, 2002). Nesse sentido, mesmo não possuindo tais recursos para auxiliar na avaliação formativa dos participantes do curso em questão, tomamos: os questionamentos de Lu como fator determinante de reflexão; o pronunciamento de Ro como indício de negociação de significado, já que ela compartilha seu conhecimento a respeito do assunto; e a manifestação de La como de interesse, a respeito do que está sendo discutido.…”

ResumoEste artigo trata da avaliação como um aspecto bastante relevante para a educação em geral, que também deve ser pensado e discutido frente à Educação a Distância (EAD). Assim, a partir de nossa experiência como professores e tendo por contexto um curso realizado totalmente à distância, analisamos algumas interações ocorridas ao longo do curso, que foi desenvolvido tendo como norte a teoria educacional construcionista. Valemonos também desta teoria para elaborar nossas idéias a respeito do caráter da avaliação frente a uma concepção formativa, em um ambiente de EAD, o qual valorizou todos os tipos de interação. Então, aliamos o Construcionismo 1 à Avaliação Formativa que visa ao aperfeiçoamento do processo de aprendizagem do aluno em vez de buscar medir o que este aprendeu. Abstract Evaluation from an EAD perspectiveThis paper presents the assessment as an aspect, sufficiently important for the education in general, that also it must be thought and be discuss in front of the Distance Education. Thus, from our experience as professors and having for context a course fulfilled totally at distance, we analyzed some interactions that occurred during the course, which was developed having as north the constructionist educational theory. We also used this theory to elaborate our ideas regarding the character of the evaluation front of a formative conception, in an environment of Distance Education, which valued all the types of interaction. Then, we united the 1 "[...] é uma teoria educacional (ou de aprendizagem) desenvolvida pelo matemático Seymour Papert, que se baseia, principalmente, na teoria epistemológica desenvolvida por Jean Piaget, a qual procura explicar o que é conhecimento e como ele é desenvolvido pelas pessoas em diferentes momentos de suas vidas" (MALTEMPI, 2005, p. 2).

: Our research concerns distance learning (DL). We are interested with distributed collaborative learning. In this approach, it is important to have indicators permitting the appreciation of durability and the evolution of groups involved. We think that actors responsible for the organisation and the working of groups (tutor for each group and coordinator of the DL session for all groups and its progress in general) can from the types of interactions and their amounts, get revealing elements permitting them to appreciate the state of a group and its evolution. From the analysis of interactions seen during a distance learning experimentation that we led, we show here that the disappearance of a group as we observed could be discerned practically in real time. It justifies for us, the necessity to set up in distance learning environments, agents capable of assisting the coordinator of the training and the tutors in their tasks.
