Abstract
Studies have shown that when learners are working in groups, even when these groups are working remotely, they adopt a certain social behavior. It would seem particularly interesting to be able to determine these types of behavior automatically using a computer. Indeed, such information can be useful for the tutor working with the learners, for the learners themselves as well as for a computer system which aims to help these same learners. This paper presents an approach for automatic analysis of learners’ social behavior during synchronous conversations. This approach is based on the specification and design of a textual conversation tool semi-structured by communicative acts and a computer agent to analyze the conversations automatically.
