The acquisition of competencies for teamwork is gaining relevance in higher education curricula. However, lecturers face increasing difficulties to monitor and guide the student evolution regarding these issues. As opposed to traditional face-to-face interactions in classrooms, the current educational context promotes students' autonomy to organize their learning activities, with an intensive use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other online facilities. This paper presents an architecture for Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems (AMAS) that supports workgroup learning in this setting. It embeds expert knowledge about participant profiles in teams and their evolution, and resources to work the related competencies. An AMAS uses this knowledge to carry out assessments of students and continually monitor their activities looking for patterns in behaviours and interactions. This information allows notifying to lecturers events that need their attention and suggesting them resources to improve students' competencies. The system is currently undergoing the validation of its knowledge basis, which this paper also reports. |
