Observation and adaptation of a learning session based on a multi-agent system: An experiment

Abstract

The work reported here deals with the observation of pedagogical activities in educational platforms. Userspsila behavior is observed through the traces of their activity. In this paper we present a multi-agent system designed to bring more flexibility to the observation of learnerspsila behavior in educational platforms. Our system enables the teacher to dynamically adapt his/her observation scenario during the learning session by possibly reconfiguring dynamically both the behavior and the topology of dedicated agents. We describe our multi-agent system with a dedicated agent configuration language and we illustrate it through an example of use in a real learning context.
