Abstract

Collaborative learning can be motivated via environments that provide tools for communication, and discussion. In such environments, both students and instructors need online support in order to produce useful interactions. In this paper we discuss a novel method to analyse participant’s interactions in Collaborative Learning Environments. We also propose an argumentation model to organise the group interaction and store the information in a multidimensional structure, which will be explored using analytical queries. An agent society receives information from the Collaborative Environment, reasons over it, and sends the results to the multidimensional structure. The results of this process generate the Learning Interaction Memory, which can be used by teachers to assess the learning progress and learners to evaluate their own progress.

Keywords:Collaborative Systems, CSCL, Context, Argumentation Models, Collaborative Learning
