چکیده
In this paper is illustrated the development of F ireF ly, a system for the Face to Face Collaborative Learning (F2F-CL). F ireF ly is written using AJAX, a set of technologies that allows to create rich web-based application. The challenge is to develop a system able to be executed on usual desktop PC, requesting the lesser possible installation effort and achieving enough expandability to allow further extensions. The system is currently under development, but the prototypes and the early tests confirms that the use of AJAX technology for this kind of application is suitable and deserves further investigations.

متن کاملComparing the roles of representations in face-to-face and online computer supported collaborative learning
We report an empirical study comparing the role of discourse and knowledge representations (graphical evidence mapping) in face to face versus distance collaborative learning. Our prior work comparing alternate knowledge representations in face-to-face collaborative learning situations has shown that differences between representational notations can translate into differences in the focus of l...
