Abstract

Recent trends in the design of learning support systems are characterized by considering social interaction, by combining intelligent support with interactive learning environments, by providing reusable domain-independent components, and by using agent-structured architectures. Taking these trends into account, an open framework system has been developed for integrating distributed intelligent support components with an interactive and collaborative learning environment. Work in shared activity spaces with synchronized objects is facilitated by a specific user interface library and communication server. A modular architecture allows flexibly plugging in intelligent components, e.g. for knowledge assessment and diagnosis, individual feedback, or multiple student modeling. The intelligent subsystem is organized as a cluster of student modeling agents and is inspectable through a WWW interface. Our approach is exemplified by two applications, the first providing individual feedback for physics exercises and the second supporting the teacher in supervising a group of students in a math class.
