Abstract

Arguing that a varying level of formality needs to be offered in systems supporting collaborative learning, this paper proposes an incremental formalization approach that has been adopted in the development of CoPe_it!, a web-based tool that complies with collaborative principles and practices to provide members of communities with the appropriate means to manage individual and collective knowledge, and collaborate towards the solution of diverse issues. According to the proposed approach, incremental formalization can be achieved through the consideration of alternative projections of a collaborative workspace, as well as through mechanisms supporting the switching from one projection to another. Related features and functionalities are presented through an illustrative example.
