Automated learning chains¶
Magellan offers a user-friendly Teacher Plugin that automatically assigns teachers and students after a little initial setup. It uses a genetic algorithm to calculate teacher-student relationships. Details regarding the evaluation function, selection, recombination, or mutation are unknown.
Furthermore, there are other, often alliance-internal, tools and script collections that also automate teacher-student relationships. This usually occurs according to "assignment rules" or using search methods such as A* search. However, search methods are only partially suitable due to the exponentially growing number of possible combinations and likely perform worse than a genetic algorithm. A comparison of the quality of the solutions found is still pending.
