Abstract

This paper presents the architecture that supports the collaborative model ACEM (Advanced Collaborative Educational Model) to assist educators in the collaborative design of learning activities, supported by a high-level graphical tool. ACEM embraces the research areas of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Learning Design (LD). Some facilities are considered in order to implement the online interactions between educators, namely a shared whiteboard and a conversation room. A workflow descriptive model of the educators´ teamwork is also introduced.
