Abstract: COLLECT-UML is a constraint-based ITS that teaches object-oriented design using Unified Modelling Language (UML). UMLis easily the most popular object-oriented modelling technology in current practice. We started by developing a single-user ITS that supported students in learning UML class diagrams. The system was evaluated in a real classroom, and the results show that students' performance increased significantly. In this paper, we present our experiences in extending the system to provide support for collaboration. We present the architecture, interface and support for collaboration in the new, multi-user system. A full evaluation study has been planned, the goal of which is to evaluate the effect of using the system on students' learning and collaboration.

From Mirroring to Guiding: A Review of State of the Art Technology for Supporting Collaborative Learning
Amy Soller,Alejandra Martínez,Patrick Jermann,Martin Muehlenbrock +3 more
- 01 Dec 2005
TL;DR: A representative selection of systems that support the management of collaborative learning interaction, and characterize them within a simple classification framework, is presented in this paper, which distinguishes between mirroring systems, which display basic actions to collaborators, metacognitive tools, which represent the state of interaction via a set of key indicators, and coaching systems which offer advice based on an interpretation of those indicators.

Supporting Social Interaction in an Intelligent Collaborative Learning System
Amy Soller
- 01 Jan 2001
TL;DR: It is suggested that structured, high-level knowledge of student conversation in context may be sufficient for automating the assessment of group interaction, furthering the possibility of an intelligent collaborative learning system that can support and enhance the group learning process.

Constructive Activity and Learning in Collaborative Small Groups.
TL;DR: The authors identified student behaviors that best predicted mathematics learning in peer-directed small groups among students who needed help, such as receiving explanations instead of only the right answer and subsequently carrying out constructive activity (solving or explaining how to solve problems using concepts stated or implied in the explanations received).
