A Document-Centered Architecture for Classroom Collaboration

چکیده
Computer technology in the classroom as a non-intrusive technology enriching the situation is not aimed to define new settings but promoting a change based on small steps: new roles, activities, material complement the traditional ones. In this paper, we present a framework system built to provide basic capabilities to teachers in order to improve their ability to manage information within and across classroom sessions which complement human abilities such as decision-making with the powerful potential of information management systems, being able to move issues from the background to the foreground and back again as described by Weiser in [1]. The fields of use can vary, as well as the pedagogical methodologies used, because we do not constrain our system to a particular view of how the sessions have to take place. Thus the CiC doe5 not force a modification on the cerricula or the way teaching is done within a classroom, but opens up new possibilities that can be exploited.
