Analysing Interaction in a Collaborative Game: a Case Study

Resumo: This work aims the investigation of the interaction which takes place among participants of a learning activity using a collaborative synchronous simulation game. This collaborative system was designed to help the process of manufacturing concepts learning. A conceptual framework is proposed to be used in analyses of interaction. We used this conceptual framework to study: the nature of the speech acts taking place during the activity, the role of players and the speeches and conversations characteristics.
