Abstract

Because students can not interact face to face with each other in an asynchronous learning situation, they are difficult to know who is able to help them. Thus, teachers or teaching assistants should put many efforts in solving students' questions. Besides, students have no chance to learn by teaching others. In this paper, we use existing commercial machine learning tools to construct a mechanism for suggesting peer mentors for students according to their questions and preference. The mechanism will locate peer mentors who not only perform better than the student in the area of the proposed questions but also can possibly provide solutions that can be understood by the student that issues the questions. Experiment data is provided to demonstrate that the mechanism also distributes the mentors equally without putting all the efforts on some particular well perform students..
