Intelligent Collaborative Support Systems
This paper explores the evolution of intelligent collaborative support systems (ICSS) in education. Building upon foundational work in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) from the late 20th century, we analyze the role of ICSS in facilitating collaborative learning. This includes a discussion on how openness and sharing of information enhance group dynamics and understanding among learners. The paper draws on previous research and offers insights into the development of systems that support collaborative problem-solving in educational contexts.

Background • CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) - IBM (SRA) late 1960ies & 70ies • ICAI (ITS - Intelligent Tutoring Systems) - 1980ies • ICLS (Intelligent Collaborative Learning Systems) 1990ies • ICSS (Intelligent Collaborative Support Systems) 2000 +
Openness Sharing advice Completeness Sharing information Check understanding “I think..” “My suggestion is..” Do you need more information?” “Here is more information..” “Do you agree with this answer?” Collaborative Skills
