Over the past decades, intelligent conversational agents have been repeatedly used as pedagogical tools for fostering students' motivation and engagement in individual learning settings. However, in recent years, the uses of conversational agents have also been explored in collaborative contexts under the scope of Academically Productive Talk (APT). The theory of APT, which has derived from the work...
Concept mapping has been applied in several fields, including curriculum development, learning, and assessment. The validity of concept mapping process has been proven by many empirical studies. The present paper describes a concept map based system that has been conceived for learners' knowledge assessment in process-oriented short and open answers questions SOAQs' evaluation. The presentation of...
Group interaction is a key component of group-based learning. However, its implementation in existing learning practices is inefficient. Previous studies discussed the use of concept mapping in group learning. Apart from its clear benefits for group learning and interaction, deficiencies of using concept mapping in distance groups were also recognized, mainly related to labor division, group coordination,...
Requirements documents often describe the system on different abstraction levels. This results in the fact that the same issues may be described in different documents and with different vocabulary. For analysts who are new to the application domain, this poses a major orientation problem, as they cannot link different concepts or documents with each other. In the presented paper, we propose an approach...
Many important phenomena within software engineering are difficult to define and measure. One example is software maintainability, which has been the subject of considerable research and is believed to be a critical determinant of total software costs. We propose using concept mapping, a well-grounded method used in social research, to operationalize the concept of software maintainability according...
A method for facilitating the communication between agents which have close ontologies by constructing a model of the interlocutor agent ontology is presented. The model of the interlocutor agent understanding is gradually refined based on the information exchanged between agents. We are in the situation where only the terms communicated between agents are made public and known by the other agent...
