Supporting learners' activities in a distance learning environment
TLDR
The social context of a distance learning situation between teachers and learners and its cooperative learning activities and a model of multi-agent architecture providing this support are described.Abstract:
In this paper, we describe the social context of a distance learning situation between teachers and learners and its cooperative learning activities. The objective is to make learners cooperate through project pedagogy. The project pedagogy is based on experiential learning and consists of learners working together in a team. During their cooperative activities, learners are supported by the system in a way that depends on the difficulties detected and the support style. When the system is no longer able to provide useful advice, learners are supported remotely by the teacher. We describe a model of multi-agent architecture providing this support. This architecture is made up of various communicating agents distributed across a network like the internet. We have developed a distance learning environment, based on this multi-agent architecture, in the field of educational robotics. We give an example to show how teachers can support learners remotely by modifying their interface or by acting on the distant physical device (a micro-robot).read more

Enhancing synchronous collaboration by using interactive visualisation of modelled traces
TL;DR: A general framework for trace management and sharing is proposed, a generic model of synchronous collaborative activity based on the notion of interaction modes that is specialized for whiteboard sharing and text chatting, and a conceptual framework for modelling the exploitation of modelled traces, in particular for interactive visualisation on the user side are proposed.
