Abstract

This study presents a novel model that integrates agent negotiation into constructive learning for enhancing interaction efficiency between learner and instructor and promoting learning motivation. A constraint-based agent negotiation mechanism is employed to support a web-based learning environment in which instructor can perceive learners' feedback and receive suggestion about pedagogical strategies. Experimental results suggested that the proposed methodology was able to improve learning effectiveness and learners also believed that the system enhanced their learning motivation and increased the flexibility of course learning.
