Abstract:
Collaboration is an essential element of teaching-learning process. Nevertheless, it does not happen without the presence of coordination mechanisms. Considering that information technology is relevant in supporting group coordination, a software that promotes and assists the coordination of collaboration was developed. The software is based on a coordination framework that permits the definition of flexible collaboration scripts. The students are the authors of their collaboration models. This paper describes a tool (CLPMtool) that was created as a plugin to be attached to Moodle learning management system (LMS). It can favor collaborative learning by organizing group work respecting the particular characteristics of each learning scenario.
