The Collaboration Platform: A Cooperative Work Course Case-Study

Nowadays, individuals are increasingly brought together to work in communities and groups towards a common goal. We developed the Collaboration Platform, a set of modules and libraries which aims at facilitating and offering support to a set of procedures commonly found within collaborative environments. In this particular paper we present employment of this platform as the main development base for a Cooperative Work course at a university – a collaborative text editor and a collaborative game were developed within the context of this work along with a set of corrections to the platform itself.
