David,
This might be one of the papers you're looking for.
Barros, B., & Verdejo, M. F.(2000). Analysing student interaction process in
order to improve collaboration. The DEGREE approach.International Journal of
Artificial Intelligence in Education, 11, to appear.
Abstract:
Computer mediated collaborative learning allows the recording of a large
amount of data about the
interaction processes and the task performance of a group of students. This
empirical data is a very rich
source to mine for a variety of purposes. Some purposes are of practical
nature like, for instance, the
improvement of peer awareness on the on-going work. Other purposes are of a
more long-term and
fundamental scope such as to understand socio-cognitive correlations between
collaboration and learning.
Manual approaches to fully monitor and exploit these data are out of the
question. A mixture of
computational methods to organise and extract information from all this
rough material together with partial
and focused in-depth manual analysis seems a more feasible and scalable
framework.
Have a great day!

Subject: Query: Distance education and AT articles
I'm looking for articles that apply AT (and closely related
approaches) to issues of distance education. The fit seems so good,
I know there must be some research there, perhaps even empirical
studies.
I know there is work in HCI (e.g., Nardi, Bodker) and in
computer-supported cooperative work (Kutti, etc.) (tho I don't know
it well at all). But do any of you kind folk know of studies that
specifically address computer-mediated courses in formal education or
corporate training, what is called (and so frequently these days)
distance ed?
