Trends in distance education show a growing emphasis in collaborative learning, stimulating students to exchange ideas and information. A collaborative environment, however, will demand a higher effort from the teacher, who will supervise all discussions among learners, so that they do not deviate from the intended topic for a lesson. Moreover, the information proceeding from interactions among students will provide to the teacher features that allow an individual evaluation of each student and his course. In this way, this paper describes a first experience using a multi-agent architecture that is able to monitor communication tools in a distance-learning group.
