The main ARGUNAUT system window. A “desktop” type of platform summarizing key awareness interpreters with configurability to focus on groups / individual users, or on the timeframe of the discussion activity.
Research reveals that e-discussions do not necessarily lead to desirable results but often turn out to be ineffective or chaotic when no moderator/tutor is present.
The ARGUNAUT project's goal, is to provide moderators with a computerized tool to support and increase their effectiveness and thereby the quality of the monitored e-discussions. This tool is called "Moderator's Interface".
The 'Moderator's Interface' includes a unified graphical representation and a cross-system replay system which allows the moderators to monitor the discussion in progress, regardless of the concrete EUE the students are using. It also includes the ability to make content keyword queries, annotate discussions, and intervene in the students' EUEs? via remote control capabilities.

Contributions of the ARGUNAUT Moderator's Interface to moderators:
- Decreasing the cognitive load associated with moderating a discussion (thereby enabling more effective moderation of discussions with a larger number of participants.
- Providing the teacher with more complete, empirically tested and methodical criteria for evaluating and monitoring discussions.
- Raising the awareness and focusing the attention of the moderator on his or her task.
- Giving the moderator suggestions and advice based on accumulated experience and expertise.
