Abstract

Online collaborative teaming, which has emerged as a new type of education in knowledge-based society, is being discussed actively in the areas of action learning at companies and project-based learning and inquiry-based learning at schools. It regards as an effective method for improving learners practical and highly advanced problem solving abilities, and for stimulating their absorption into learning through pursuing common goals of learning together. Different from individual learning, however, collaborative learning involves complicated processes such as organizing teams, setting common goals, performing tasks and evaluating the outcome of team activities .Thus, it is difficult for a teacher to promote and evaluate the whole process of collaborative learning, and it is necessary to develop systems to support collaborative learning. Therefore, in order to monitor and promote interaction among learners in the process of collaborative learning, the present study developed an extensible collaborative teaming supporting agent (ECOLA) in online learning environments.

지식기반사회에서 새로운 교육형태로 대두되고 있는 온라인 협력학습은 실제적이고 고차원적인 문제해결 능력을 향상시키며 학습의 몰입을 촉진하는 효과적인 방안으로 활발하게 논의되고 있다. 협력학습은 개인학습과 달리 팀을 구성하여 공동의 목적을 설정하고 과제를 수행하면서 산출물을 생성하는 복잡한 절차를 거치게 되며, 성공적인 협력학습을 위해 협력학습과정에서 학습자의 자기주도학습 능력, 그룹간 상호작용, 학습자료의 공유 촉진 전략이 필요하다. 그러나 교수자가 모든 학습자의 협력활동을 모니터하고 문제점에 대해 적극적인 조언자 역할을 수행하기에 어려운 실정이며, 기존의 협력학습지원 도구만으로는 학생들의 협력활동을 촉진시키기에는 제한적이다 따라서 본 연구에서는 온라인 협력학습에서의 상호작용을 모니터하고 촉진하기 위해 협력학습지원 에이전트(ECOLA)를 개발하였다. 협력학습지원 에이전트(ECOLA)는 협력학습모델과 협력학습 촉진전략에 기반한 모니터링 에이전트와 촉진자 에이전트로 구현되었다.
