Adaptive Group Formation

Category: Prescriptivec Analytics

Zawacki-Richter, et. al. (2019:4) write, AI in Education (AIEd) “can contribute to collaborative learning by supporting adaptive group formation based on learner models, by facilitating online group interaction or by summarising discussions.” While they suggest such an application as a tool to be used by a human tutor, fully-automated group formation is desirable, especially for mass-enrollment courses. Mujkanovica, et.al. (2012) demonstrated ”the feasibility of using a set of individual characteristics of group members to form groups that are more likely to have desired group behaviours.” Alberola, et.al. (2016) demonstrate a simple tool that “combines artificial intelligence techniques such as coalition structure generation, Bayesian learning, and Belbin’s role theory to facilitate the generation of working groups in an educational context.”
