Based on the well-established Monte Carlo approach called Ising model in magnetism, a concrete scientific model has been reformulated to simulate the students’ processes of collaborative learning as induced by different kinds of group interactions between students who learn under the same intelligent tutoring system and technology-mediated learning platform/environment. Furthermore, a package of computer programs for this model has been specifically developed to provide numerical solutions or predictions for some hypothetical or real educational contexts which are of significant interest to the certain educators.
