Abstract:
This paper presents a multi-agent system with Peer-to-Peer architecture that implements a pedagogic method called MAETIC. Indeed, the system objective is to allow the collaborative learning of project management. However, collaborative e-learning imply new roles for tutors as well as for learners. It is therefore essential to identify the users’ needs and integrate, in the system, the functionalities which allow satisfying such needs. In addition, it is essential to avoid the failure and/or desertion of learners by providing tutors and learners with the opportunity to obtain information about the progress of their learning processes as well as the level of collaboration and sociability of each learner in the group
