This work explores a novel approach to the analysis and modelling of computer supported collaborative writing. The aim of this dynamic modelling approach is to capture the structure of user behaviour as they interact with a computer system. Markov chains models are derived from the empirical data on the use of the system. These models are compared so as to highlight how the dynamic structure of...

This study investigates reflection keywords by contrasting two datasets, one of reflective sentences and another of descriptive sentences. The loglikelihood statistic reveals several reflection keywords that are discussed in the context of a model for reflective writing. These keywords are seen as a useful building block for tools that can automatically analyse reflection in texts.
