Abstract: Collaborative learning supported through computers seems to be very promising due to advances in computer mediated communication tools. However, it is not clear which approach for on-line learning individual or collaborative is more effective for the students. This paper is a continuation of previous work from authors, that combine both approaches, taking in account that some advantages related to individual learning, such as the self-pacing and the establishment of learning goals by the learner, imply in difficulties to establish collaborative settings. In this article it is proposed a framework for the management of study groups of distributed learners sharing on-line material. A model is presented to capture the essences of group activities. These information allow further analysis of group and individual performances.
