Abstract

Starting from the integrated view presented in Figure 1, we have designed a cohesion graph (see 7.2 Cohesion-based Discourse Analysis) that was later on used to aggregate individual and collaborative learning through the underlying discourse structure. Without limiting the overall perspective, we opted here for focusing solely on ReaderBench, as it introduced the integrated cohesion-based analysis addressing both individual and collaborative learning, incorporating and refining nevertheless more functionalities than the other systems.
