The aim of this paper is to describe a step-by-step scenario writing method used in the context of the authors' curriculum research study. METHODS Scenario writing teams ...

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 c...
