Application Frameworks for Collaborative Learning

我们将率先使用关键的软件工程技术-设计模式和应用程序框架-来降低在线协作学习活动的成本和提高质量。我们将第一次将软件工程和教育知识结合起来，使用设计模式以工程术语描述这些活动的最佳实践；我们将使用应用程序框架来聚合这些模式，并将它们作为易于使用的工具来实现。其结果将是功能强大、稳定的新一代协作电子学习工具，具有增强的可扩展性、互操作性和适应性。

We will pioneer the use of key software engineering techniques - design patterns and application frameworks - to reduce the cost and improve the quality of online collaborative learning activities. For the first time, we will combine software engineering and educational knowledge to use design patterns to describe best practice for these activities in engineering terms; we will use application frameworks to aggregate these patterns and implement them as a readily usable tool. The result will be a powerful new generation of stable collaborative eLearning tools with enhanced scalability, interoperability and adaptability.
