User Modeling on Communication Characteristics Using Machine Learning in Computer-Supported Collaborative Multiple Language Learning

Towards the creation of a multiple language learning environment which supports and enhances collaboration among its students we propose an approach that uses user modeling and machine learning. The well known theory of user modeling is used to collect user characteristics and as second step a classical machine learning approach is incorporated in order to intelligently use these characteristics to create student groups. The resulting student groups promote win-win collaboration, thus support the learning process and provide additional educational benefits for the learners.
