TLDR
A conversational agent designed to support collaborative learning interactions between pairs of students is described in which the social capability and goal alignment of the agent are manipulated in order to investigate the impact on student learning outcomes and student perceptions.Abstract:
In this study, we describe a conversational agent designed to support collaborative learning interactions between pairs of students We describe a study in which we independently manipulate the social capability and goal alignment of the agent in order to investigate the impact on student learning outcomes and student perceptions Our results show a significant interaction effect between the two independent variables on student learning outcomes While there are only a few perceived differences related to student satisfaction and tutor performance as evidenced in the questionnaire data, we observe significant differences in student conversational behavior, which offer tentative explanations for the learning outcomes we will investigate in subsequent work.read more

Architecture for Building Conversational Agents that Support Collaborative Learning
TL;DR: This work describes three specific conversational agents built using Basilica in order to illustrate the desirable properties of this new architecture and adopts an object-oriented approach to represent agents as a network composed of what they refer to as behavioral components because they enable the agents to engage in rich conversational behaviors.

Towards an Agile Approach to Adapting Dynamic Collaboration Support to Student Needs
TL;DR: Findings from a series of studies across content domains, grade levels, and facilitation strategies demonstrate that APT based support for collaborative learning can significantly increase learning, but that the effect of specific APTfacilitation strategies is context specific.

A Configurable Conversational Agent to Trigger Students’ Productive Dialogue: A Pilot Study in the CALL Domain
TL;DR: The study results indicate that ‘weak’-directed agent interventions can be more effective than undirected interventions by means of increasing the level of explicit reasoning, and thus productive dialogue in students’ productive dialogue.

Building a Social Conversational Pedagogical Agent: Design Challenges and Methodological approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the historical roots of pedagogical agents in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and reveal central developments of creating an agent that is both knowledgeable and fosters a social relationship with the learner.

TL;DR: This work proposes a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hofmann's aspect model.

Intelligent tutoring systems
TL;DR: Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical principles derived from the ACT theory of cognition have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the language LISP.
