8 CONCLUSIONS
Adding functionality that supports the team learning
process can enhance CSCL systems. At this aim, we
have developed AUTO-COLLEAGUE that provides
suggestion of optimum groups of learners using
student-modelling techniques taking into account
integrated student characteristics, such as the
personality. The results of the conducted evaluation
are promising that the individual students may
enhance their performance and knowledge by
working into teams organized by a systematic
approach of combining their personality features and
their level of knowledge.
