Abstract

It is important to investigate what tutoring paradigms are appropriate for ill-defined domains. We focus on teaching intercultural competence, where asynchronous online discussion is a typical instructional task. We explore two methods of assessing student contributions and delivering feedback: an adaptive support system that provides individual feedback, and a peer moderator from the class supported by adaptive assistance.
