Abstract

We evaluated a pedagogical agent that coaches collaborative problem solving by tracking student participation and comparing students' individual and group solutions. The software coach encourages negotiation when differences are detected between solutions, and encourages participation in other ways. Evaluations based on expert judgment and on students' behavior shows that the quality of the advice was good and that the coach helped guide the collaborative session, although specific areas for improvement were identified.
