Abstract

This paper presents an innovative approach to sustain collaborative hands-on activities in flexible engineering education. The paper presents our research context, our objectives as well as some preliminary results. The main issues addressed include (i) object-oriented model for collaboration in Web-based learning environment for engineering education (ii) continuity of interaction in flexible engineering education (iii) awareness in Web-based learning environment, and (iv) evaluation methods and metrics. This doctoral research work is currently performed at the School of Engineering, EPFL.
