11 Abstract Although protocol analysis can be an important tool for researchers to investigate 12 the process of collaboration and communication, the use of this method of analysis can be 13 time consuming. Hence, an automatic coding procedure for coding dialogue acts was 14 developed. This procedure helps to determine the communicative function of messages in 15 online discussions by recognizi...

We summarize our past, present and future research related to human-robot dialogue, starting with its foundations in collaborative discourse theory, continuing to our current research on recognizing and generating engagement, and concluding with an outline of new work we are beginning on the modeling of long-term relationships between humans and robots. This paper is a summary of our past, pres...

Research in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is diverse and multi-vocal, in that multiple theoretical and methodological traditions speak to questions concerning how learning takes place in social settings. Whether this multivocality leads to balkanization or is a source of strength may require deliberate efforts at identifying strategies and finding boundary objects for product...

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a videotaped simulated instructional model on prospective language teachers’ co-construction of knowledge with the help of their peers and their supervisor in microteaching sessions. Within the framework of action research, a three-phase collaborative coaching model (TCCM) was developed to encourage trainees’ reflection and instructional awaren...

The coordination is an essential ingredient for the mixed human-agent teamwork. It requires team members to share knowledge to establish common grounding and mutual awareness among them. In this paper, we proposed a collaborative conversational belief-desire-intention (CBDI) behavioural agent architecture that allows to enhance the knowledge sharing using natural language communication between ...

This paper describes a project whose aims were to develop a virtual learning environment for collaborative learning. The pedagogy calls on practitioners and newcomers to a community of practice to engage in practical problem solving and dialogue around their practices. The paper agrees with many writers on the subject of computer mediated collaborative work using conferencing, in that good mode...

Studies of collaborative learning activities often involve analyses of dialogue and interaction as well as analyses of tasks and actors’ roles through ethnographic and other field experiments. Adequate analysis tools can facilitate these studies. In this paper, we discuss key requirements of interaction and collaboration analysis tools. We indicate how these requirements lead to the design of n...
