Abstract

The Adaptive Courseware Environment (ACE) [1] is a WWW-based tutoring framework which combines methods of knowledge representation, instructional planning, and adaptive media generation to deliver individualized courseware over the WWW. In this paper we like to introduce new cooperative components integrated in the ACE framework that support cooperative knowledge/data collection, expert finding and learner group organization. All these new cooperative components are realized with modified components of the BSCW environment [2]. A pedagogical agent in ACE is able to make recommendations for switching between individual and cooperative learning activities and find advanced or expert students in relation to one's own profile.
