Abstract

This paper describes how we propose to assist trainers in their tasks of monitoring a distant group, in the context of learning situations exploiting interactive learning objects (simulations, micro-worlds...). We describe the conceptual model on which we base the monitoring of such learning situations. A scenario, created by the trainer, describes the goal proposed and the various controls to be made during the learner’s progression toward this goal. Our tools automatically use the scenario to control the learning object, to monitor the learners’ activities and to provide tutors with semantic and synthetic representations of these activities. We also provide automatic assistance to learners. The context of this work is the FORMID project, which has resulted in a computer platform implementing our proposals.
