Nonverbal Communication to Support Collaborative Interaction in Collaborative Virtual Environments for Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
When a group of students, placed around a shared workspace and working on an anticipated task is observed, the teacher or the facilitator intuitively can, to a certain extent, understand how collaboration is taking place within the group, without listening to the students’ discourse. Following this analogy, we propose that some specific nonverbal communication cues should be useful to infer collaborative interaction to such an extent that collaboration can be automatically fostered. Some nonverbal communication cues selected for that purpose and the inferred collaborative learning indicators will be

The Users’ Avatars Nonverbal Interaction in Collaborative Virtual Environments for Learning
In a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) for learning, an automatic analysis of collaborative interaction is helpful, either for a human or a virtual tutor, in a number of ways: to personalize or adapt the learning activity, to supervise the apprentices’ progress, to scaffold learners or to track the students’ involvement, among others. However, this monitoring task is a challenge that dema...

متن کاملTransformed Social Interaction: Decoupling Representation from Behavior and Form in Collaborative Virtual Environments
Computer-mediated communication systems known as collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) allow geographically separated individuals to interact verbally and nonverbally in a shared virtual space in real time. We discuss a CVE-based research paradigm that transforms (i.e., filters and modifies) nonverbal behaviors during social interaction. Because the technology underlying CVEs allows a strat...
