Abstract

We introduce MAI-a proactive speech agent aimed at enhancing metacognitive awareness among learners in collaborative learning settings. Background is presented around Socially Shared Regulation of Learning and the role of metacognition in learning. Next, the design of the rules that MAI uses to prompt learners and mediate metacognition are introduced. We describe the conditions in which MAI has been piloted thus far, including as a Wizard of Oz prototype and as a fully functional prototype using natural language processing. We discuss the ethical considerations that went into the prototyping and testing of MAI. Finally, we describe our next steps for understanding the interactions learners had with MAI already, planned design changes, and the future of testing the agent.
