Abstract

In this paper, we illustrate how a cooperative learning paradigm may benefit from cutting edge e-learning techniques. We use Web 2.0 resources (especially AJAX) to fulfill requirements for an interactive-constructivistic "learning space", extending an existing Free/Open Source Software Learning Management System, to create a cooperative and community-based learning space adherent to our proposal. The paper shows also how to use our toolset on two case studies.
