About the Project
The CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) Assistant is a valuable tool for both students and teachers. Numerous studies have confirmed that collaborative learning improves educational outcomes. However, determining how students should collaborate and how to group them effectively remains a longstanding challenge in education. By applying personality analysis based on the Big Five model and monitoring the frequency of student interactions, existing research has identified an optimal grouping strategy that maximizes learning effectiveness—an approach now realized through this system. This system leverages students' personality traits and interaction frequencies to assist teachers in forming student groups that enhance overall learning outcomes. Students, in small group, can use the platform to engage in more productive collaborative discussions with real-time academic support through an integrated chatbot that have supplementary personality traits the group might need. In addition, the integration of a chatbot ensures that students are not left stranded when facing learning difficulties. This dual approach promotes interactive learning, fosters a positive communication environment, and paves the way for a new chapter in collaborative learning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the system without registering?
Yes, you can. However, registering makes it easier to access your account and continue using the system across different devices.
Will my chat history be saved even if I haven't registered?
Yes. Your chat history will be preserved, and once you register, your conversations from before and after registration will be seamlessly linked.
How is the chatbot's personality determined?
The chatbot's personality is assigned based on the questionnaire filled out by group members. It is designed to complement the personalities within the group, helping to fill in any gaps. This approach encourages more diverse perspectives and enhances the quality of group discussions.
