I-Minds为学习者提供了一个计算机支持的协作学习(CSCL)基础设施和环境，用于同步学习和课堂管理应用程序，适用于教师、大型教室或远程教育情况。为了支持讲师，i-Minds包括一个教师代理。教师代理允许教师与学生互动、管理QA会议、管理测验、后评估、组建小组以及监控个人和小组的表现。对于计算机支持的协作学习，i-Minds代表分布式教育系统的智能多代理基础设施，为每个学生提供一个学生代理。每个学生代理对其用户进行监控和建模，并在幕后与其他学生代理进行群组组建。I-Minds提供标准的在线协作功能，如聊天室和白板，并实现了一种名为Jigsaw的结构化协作学习机制。该系统还结合了用于形成对等组的多智能体联盟形成算法。I-Minds还为每个对等组提供一个组代理，用于监控和评估其分配的对等组。I-Minds已经在计算机科学入门课程(CS1)中进行了部署和评估。结果表明，I-Minds等智能工具可以在实时环境中支持学生的合作学习活动，也可以作为收集教学或教学数据的试验床，以更好地理解学生的合作学习。本文对I-Minds的框架、实现、部署和测试结果进行了全面的描述。
I-MINDS provides a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) infrastructure and environment for learners in synchronous learning and classroom management applications for instructors, for large classroom or distance education situations. For supporting the instructor, I-MINDS includes a teacher agent. The teacher agent allows the instructor to interact with students, manage QA sessions, administer quizzes, post evaluations, form groups and monitor individual and group performances. For computer-supported collaborative learning, I-MINDS, which stands for Intelligent Multiagent Infrastructure for Distributed Systems in Education, provides a student agent for each student. Each student agent monitors and models its user and carries out group formation with other student agents behind-the-scene. I-MINDS provides standard online collaborative features such as chat rooms and whiteboards and implements a structured cooperative learning mechanism called Jigsaw. The system also incorporates multiagent coalition formation algorithms for forming peer groups. I-MINDS also provides a group agent for each peer group that monitors and evaluates its assigned peer group. I-MINDS has been deployed and evaluated in an introductory computer science course (CS1). Results show that intelligent tools such as I-MINDS can be used in a real-time environment to support student cooperative learning activities, and also as a testbed to collect instructional or pedagogical data for better understanding of student collaborative learning. This paper describes the I-MINDS framework, implementation, deployment, and test results comprehensively.
