Promoting Effective Peer Interaction in an Intelligent Collaborative Learning System

A Quantitative Treatment to Data from Computer-Supported Collaboration: An Ontological Approach

“…Nevertheless, it is clearly understandable that the complexity of free-style human communication is an important challenge for current computational approaches. This trend of collaboration analysis has been maintained in subsequent research work of [6] and [7], focusing on the search for certain messaging structures.…”

Scripting Discussions for Elaborative, Critical Interactions

“…For Treatment dyads an additional role script component was administered, in which students were instructed to act as proponent of their text and a constructive critic of their partner's text. A sentence opener interface [4] was used to provide support for the proponent and constructive critic roles. The Comparison group used a standard chat instead.…”

Towards an on-Line Student Assistant within a CSCL Framework

“…However, the benefits of collaborative learning are only achieved by active teams that function well (Soller, 2001). In addition, adequate technology tools and methodologies should be constantly improved to enrich the collaborative learning environments: in a review by Soller (Soller et al, 2005) they studied tools and methodologies that support collaborative learning interactions; argumentation in collaborative learning systems can help to facilitate the communication between participants as argued in a review of computer supported argumentation made by Scheuer et al (Scheuer, 2010); an essay of the relationship between technology and collaborative learning performance is carried-out in Stahl (Stah, 2006); such improvements can be related with the development of network architectures (Bote, 2004).…”
