Abstract

In collaborative learning through the Internet, learners sometimes cannot communicate with other learners smoothly because they cannot focus on particular learners. Since a learner tends to focus on others whom he thinks understands exercise well, we have already proposed a mechanism for inferring other learners' understanding levels from their utterances using a solution network which represents understandability of knowledge contained in the exercise. However, the understandability of knowledge may differ among learners. In this paper, understanding levels for general knowledge are introduced as a permanent learner model. The permanent learner model is updated based on understanding levels acquired after each collaborative learning. Then, the understandability in the solution network is generated by using the permanent model.
