Abstract

This paper presents results of an automatic analysis of text contributions made by students in asynchronous discussions. The study was carried with the MineraFórum software. Data collected with the program were compared to appraisals made by teachers. Results show that the average of the analyses of posts made MineraFórum is similar to the average obtained in the analyses made by teachers.
