This study had intention to evaluate the Wiki tool, of the Moodle in accordance with the performance of the pupils. A research with pupils was carried through who used the Virtual Environment of Learning, in which they had engaged in the construction of a collaborative text, showing the importance/consequences of the use of Information Technology and Communication in small and medium and midsiz...

This paper presents a system architecture for producing spoken utterances while collaborating with the human dialogue partner in carrying on a spoken dialogue. The system incrementally produces utterances while managing the responses and interruptions from the human dialogue partner that occur in the middle of the system's utterances. The collaborative principles that the system must use in ord...

Collaborative learning is an essential part of children’s development, positively impacting academic achievement and fostering higher levels reasoning. However, young learners often face challenges with taking turns in conversation, openly listening to ideas, respecting different viewpoints. One way foster collaborative skills may be raise awareness their own dialogue. In this paper, we present...

Abstract In adult learners’ collaborative dialogue, oral+written tasks have been found to promote a greater incidence and resolution of language-related episodes demand higher levels accuracy than oral thanks the extra time learners reflect on their written outcome. No previous studies tested whether asking attend in both modalities would yield similar results. The present study with 23 dyads y...

In the work here presented, we apply textual and sequential methods to assess the outcomes of an unconstrained multiparty dialogue. In the context of chat transcripts from a collaborative learning scenario, we demonstrate that while low-level textual features can indeed predict student success, models derived from sequential discourse act labels are also predictive, both on their own and as a s...

We have been investigating collaborative expert-consultation dialogues in which two participants (the executing agent and the consultant) work together to construct a plan for achieving the executing agent’s domain goal. Our analysis of naturally occurring dialogue and our search for an architecture for response generation in collaborative situations have led us to identify a number of features...

This paper explores how field and indoor based students can be connected so that their contrasting circumstances and capabilities are used as a basis for learning. We describe the design of the ‘Out There and In Here’ system and activity. Using naturalistic evaluations in the context of higher education earth science, we find evidence that this approach can be beneficial in developing essential...

Giving effective help is an important collaborative skill that leads to improved learning for both the help-giver and help-receiver. Adding intelligent tutoring to student interaction may be one effective way of assisting students in giving and receiving better help. However, such systems have proven difficult to implement, in part due to the challenges of modeling productive dialogue in a coll...

Existing approaches to integrating ITS and CSCL environments have not attempted to model the collaborative interaction between human learners in order to exploit its pedagogical potential. We present an approach to modelling such interactions and students' underlying beliefs, within the framework of a CSCL environment designed for learning the concept of energy in physics (C-CHENE). The environ...

In this paper we review the role that collaborative learning can play in law. In particular we see it as a constructive way of acquiring information not only about the domain, but also the processes that operate in the domain, and how to play the roles that arise in the domain. We have previously described a stand-alone dialogue tool to support such learning. In this paper we describe how the t...
