Abstract

This paper proposes a method to automatically generate a structure of statements in CSCL activity. As a pre-process, NLP (natural language processing) is applied in order to clarify peer-to-peer inter-statement relationship of “Affirmative”, “Negative” and “Question”. Given this information, the authors developed a function to generate a whole structure of discussion. Since the overall structure cannot be predefined, Prolog language is utilized to identify a structure of the given discussion. With use of the proposing method, another learner group is able to understand and refer a discussion log of preceding learner groups.
