摘要：Trends in distance education show a growing emphasis in collaborative learning, stimulating groups of students (in the same school or not) to interact and exchange ideas. Using a collaborative environment, however, will demand a higher effort from the teacher, who needs to monitor all the discussions among the learners in order to avoid dispersion. Moreover, the information contained in the interactions among the students provide to the teacher an important feedback allowing an individual evaluation of the students and the course. In this way, this paper presents an experiment using a Multi-agent architecture to monitor the communication tools in a distance learning group. This system analyzes the discussions taking place in discussion list, chat and newsgroups tools, showing to the teacher statistical information (degree of participation and number of changed messages) and identifying possible associations in the interactions, such as: topics and subtopics that interest the students, groups of learners that interact intensively, etc.
