N2 - A complexity-based analysis of the turn-taking sequences produced during peers' computer-mediated collaboration is presented in this paper. The collaborative contributions monitored by the system, namely Lin2k, are mapped to turn-taking sequences, which, in turn, are transformed to symbol-sequences and analyzed for pattern extraction. The use of a normalized complexity measure when applied to collaborative data from the field of environmental engineering reveals peers' tendencies to more complex turntaking patterns when they receive appropriate feedback from the Lin2k. The efficiency of the proposed complexity analysis in pattern identification and its simplicity in implementation makes it a useful tool for effective tracking of temporal changes in collaborative activity.
