Innovative Technology for Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Building (ITCOLE)
ITCOLE was an European research and development project (5th Framework: IST-2001) of ten partners coordinated by the UIAH Media Lab. The project had three key scientific and technical objectives: (1) Develop pedagogical models of collaborative knowledge building for European education. (2) Develop a modular knowledge-building environment to support collaborative learning. (3) Evaluate, test and disseminate the environment in European schools in order to build meaningful pedagogical practices and to advance the use of collaborative learning technology.
