Uma arquitetura multiagente de apoio ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem no moodle baseado na PBL

Abstract

The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a learning theory that emphasizes collaboration and teamwork to solve a problem. However, the implementation of a teaching method based on the PBL is not a trivial task. In virtual learning environments (VLEs), the complexity of implementation of this method is even greater, as the facilitator cannot always detect possible problems in the collaboration, nor have all the information needed to apply the techniques of this learning method. Thus, this paper presents a multiagent architecture to support PBL. This work also shows how the Moodle VLE was adapted to support the teaching and learning according to PBL and how the multiagent system will support students andfacilitators during this process.
