Computer Agent’s Role in Modeling an Online Math Help User
Dragana Martinovic
This paper investigates perspectives of deployments of open
learner model on mathematics online help sites. It proposes
enhancing a regular human-to-human interaction with an
involvement of a computer agent suitable for tracking users,
checking their input and making useful suggestions. Such a
design would provide the most support for the interlocutors
while keeping the nature of existing environment intact. Special
considerations are given to peer-to-peer and expert-to-student
mathematics online help that is free of charge and
asynchronous. Examples from other collaborative, Web-based
environments are also discussed. Suggestions for improving the
existing architectures are given, based on the results of a
number of studies on on-line learning systems. Full Text
