Moderation

..."any kind of support given by a human to help at reaching the goal of the e-discussion". (Gil, Schwarz & Asterhan, submitted).

In ARGUNAUT, a moderator is the person (in an educational setting, typically a teacher) responsible for administrating, mediating, monitoring and supporting (e.g. helping, advising, guiding etc.) the other participants in the learning activity or the discussion. (ARGUNAUT Deliverable 1.1).

ARGUNAUT is aimed at providing tools for supporting the moderation of synchronous e-discussions.
