Abstract

In the last few years, Educational Software has developed enormously, but a large part of this has been badly organized and poorly documented. Recent advances in the software technology can promote the cooperative learning that is a teaching strategy in which small teams, each composed by students of different levels of ability, use different learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. How can we design Educational Software if we never learnt how to do it? This paper describes how the Technological University of the Mixtec Region is using a cooperative application to improve the quality of education offered to its students in the Educational Software design.
