Paper Abstract:
|
We developed a CSCL chat tool REACH which displays users key typing process in real time to realizes swift
responses. It avoids congestion, misunderstanding affects, and improved ease of conversation. In this paper, we added
automatic display function of dialog acts (DAs) by face mark ASCII Art. However, learners commented that it was hard
to know DAs. This is because of poor inventory of face marks, buggy algorithm, and users preference. However, they
liked its informal atmosphere. Also, ASCII art was preferred than GIF icon face mark or Dialog Act tag text. |
