Analyzing collaboration and interaction in learning environments to form learner groups

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a method to form learner groups in collaborative environments.

• The method analyses the collaboration among learners by means of variables.

• These variables are used to form homogenous and/or heterogeneous learner groups.

• The criteria (homogeneous/heterogeneous) and variables are defined by the teacher.

• The method is automatically performed by a software tool.
