Abstract :
In this paper, we will illustrate our proposal for a methodology of academical teaching, based on cooperative learning paradigm, which also relies on cutting edge e-learning techniques. We use Web 2.0 resources to fulfill requirements coming from our vision of an interactive-constructivistic "learning space", where blended-teaching paradigm may be proficiently applied. We propose our plan for extending an existing free/open source software learning management system, to create a cooperative and community-based learning space adherent to our proposal.
