Abstract :
Natural human interaction is characterised by a rich set of communication modes often not available to the online user. Interoperable conversations enable an online user to interact with the environment in a manner that is more natural and relevant to one´s context. ECOLE is a prototype of a peer-to-peer learning environment which supports and encourages conversations within and across conversation modes in a managed fashion.
