Experimental Findings with Collaborative Writing within a Project-Based Scenario

چکیده
The modeling of the process is a key point for the successful use of collaborative project-based learning environments. We built a cooperation model expressed as patterns in order to point out these ideas. In this paper, we describe the scenario chosen to evaluate the model: collaborative writing projects and EdiTex, a groupware tool to support them. We tested our ideas by using EdiTex in two case studies, with over 30 participants. The results were promising, pointing out the relationship between the process design and the level of collaboration. Moreover, new case studies must be carried on in order to validate our findings.
