目前，基于网络的学习支持系统是Internet利用和计算机在教育中应用的热点问题之一。尤其是基于网络的协作是一种非常适用的手段，可以让互不相识的学生在同一个虚拟的交互空间中进行讨论。然而，由于真实的世界与虚拟环境之间存在着差距，在讨论的协调性、合作反应、对学习进展的理解等方面存在着一些问题。这些问题可能取决于学生的行为不能直接受到他人行为的影响。在本文中，我们讨论了一个协调机制，以促进合作行动/反应，逐步讨论。我们的想法是应用面向代理的框架，这种协调机制，并引入两种不同类型的代理。一个是协调者，另一个是学习者。协调员监督小组的学习进度，并在必要时促进讨论，以成功实现其共同目标。学习者被分配给各个学生，并代替相应的学生充当学生之间的互动中介。当然，在我们的协作学习空间中，协调者是被动的实体，学习者是主动的实体。
Currently, the web-based learning support systems are one of interesting and hot topics in points of the utilization of Internet and the application of computers to education. In particular, the web-based collaboration is very applicable means to make unfamiliar students, who are unknown to each other, discuss together in the same virtual interaction space. However, there are some problems derived from the gap between the real world and virtual environment: coordination of discussions, cooperative reactions, comprehension of learning progress, etc. These problems may be dependent on the fact that the actions of students cannot be in uenced from the behaviors of others directly. In this paper, we address a coordination mechanism to promote cooperative actions/reactions for progressive discussions. Our idea is to apply an agent-oriented framework to this coordination mechanism and introduce two di erent types of agents. One is a coordinator and the other is a learner. The coordinator monitors the learning progress of groups and promotes the discussion, if necessary, so as to reach their common goal successfully. The learners are assigned to individual students, and act as interaction mediators among students in place of the corresponding students. Of course, the coordinator is a passive entity and learners are active entities in our collaborative learning space.
