Group Formation (GF) strongly influences the collaborative learning process in ComputerSupported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). Various factors affect GF that include personal characteristics,
social, cultural, psychological, and cognitive diversity. Although different group formation methods aim
to solve the group compatibility problem, an optimal solution for dynamic group formation is still not
addressed. In addition, the research lacks to supplement collaborative group formation with a collaborative
platform. In this study, the next level of collaboration in CSCL and Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)
platforms is achieved. First, initial groups are formed based on students learning styles, and knowledge level,
i.e. for knowledge level, an activity-based dynamic group formation technique is proposed. In this activity,
swapping of students takes place on each permutation based on their knowledge level. Second, the formed
heterogeneous balanced groups are used to augment the collaborative learning system. For this purpose,
a hybrid framework of Intelligent Tutor Collaborative Learning (ITSCL) is used that provides a unique and
real-time collaborative learning platform. Third, an experiment is conducted to evaluate the significance
of the proposed study. Inferential and descriptive statistics of Paired T-Tests are applied for comprehensive
analysis of recorded observations. The statistical results show that the proposed ITSCL framework positively
impacts student learning and results in higher learning gains.
