Towards a dynamic multi-agent based scaffolding framework

Abstract

Students have different abilities, skills and background and thus the corresponding learning process is different. Moreover, the teacher strategy, the available equipment, etc, play a crucial role in the learning curve. Scaffolding is a learning approach for dynamically supporting student during the learning process. The final goal is to restrict this support and to increase the student autonomy. This paper presents a basic idea for developing a dynamic multi-agent computer based scaffolding framework. Multi-agent technology constitutes an adaptive approach regarding the needed scaffolding. This paper also shows the modelling approach regarding the multi agent concepts. Finally, some theoretical indicative learning paths for different students are presented.
