Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to developing computational supports for reciprocal tutoring. Reciprocal tutoring is a collaborative learning activity, where two participants take turns to play the role of a tutor and a tutee. The computational supports include scaffolding tools for the tutor, and a computer-simulated virtual participant. The approach, including system architecture, implementations of scaffolding tools for the tutor and of a virtual participant is presented herein. Furthermore, a system for reciprocal tutoring is implemented as an example of the approach.
