Collaborative Learning Agent for Promoting Group Interaction Heejeon Suh

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This project aims to design and develop a prototype for
an agent that support online collaborative learning.
Online collaborative learning, which has emerged as a
new form of education in the knowledge-based society, is
regarded as an effective method for improving practical
and highly advanced problem-solving abilities.
Collaborative learning involves complicated processes,
such as organizing teams, setting common goals,
performing tasks, and evaluating the outcome of team
activities. Thus, a teacher may have difficulty promoting
and evaluating the entire process of collaborative learning,
and a system may need to be developed to support it.
Therefore, to promote interaction among learners in the
process of collaborative learning, this study designed an
extensible collaborative learning agent (ECOLA) for an
online learning environment.
