Abstract
This paper presents an instructional assistant agent for FLE2 - a distributed collaborative learning environment. We discuss the role of the instructional assistant agent and how it supports both the instructor and students in a distributed collaborative knowledge building process. We emphasize the supplementary role of the instructional assistant agent, which, on one hand, observes the distributed collaborative learning process and computes statistics for viewing, and on the other hand, detects possible problems and presents them to the instructor so that the instructor, if desired, gives feedback to the students so that they themselves can regulate the collaboration.
