Cooperative live coding as an instructional model

The advances on technologies have provided many tools that inspired new instructional models. Learners and instructors are experiencing a diverse environment where everyone can participate from anywhere in the world and share the same learning platforms. Although we already have some manuals, tutorials, and also MOOCs that can be useful for people who wants to learn Computer Music languages, the musical interaction is not offered in these solutions. In this paper we present an instructional model for computer music and live coding based on a cooperative live coding environment where participants can teach and learn through distributed pair programming. We also discuss the fundamental ideas and the tool used on this work during the first experiments.
