Abstract

As Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) gains a broader usage as a viable alternative to traditional educational scenarios, the need for automated tools capable of evaluating active participation and collaboration among peers in online discussions increases. In this study, we validate a quantitative model of predicting involvement in CSCL chats based on student’s pauses throughout the timeline of the conversation. Starting from a corpus of 10 chat conversations, our proposed model explains 55% of the variance in terms of student participation and 42% in terms of collaboration, although relying on simple quantitative indices.
