An assistant for group formation in CSCL based on constraint satisfaction
Group formation is a key aspect in computer-supported collaborative learning, since different characteristics of students might influence the group performance. In this article, we present an assistant that models group formation as a weighted constraint satisfaction problem (WCSP), and considers three students’ features, namely: psychological styles, team roles and social networks. Our WCSP formulation is able to combine constraints and preferences for individuals and groups. This assistant can aid teachers to form groups considering factors such as team role balance and distribution of psychological styles. We report on a pilot study to evaluate the proposal in different scenarios.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativ

Using constraint satisfaction to aid group formation in CSCL
In computer-supported collaborative learning contexts, group formation is a key aspect, since different characteristics of students might influence the group performance. In this article, we present an intelligent assistant that models group formation as a weighted constraint satisfaction problem (WCSP). The assistant takes into account three students´ features, namely: psychological styles, team roles and social networks. The proposed WCSP approach is able to combine constraints and preferences both for individuals and groups. The main goal of the assistant is to aid teachers to form learning groups considering factors such as team role balance and distribution of psychological styles. We also describe a pilot study to evaluate our proposal in different scenarios.Fil: Diaz Pace, Jorge Andres. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientÃficas y Técnicas.
