community environment for facilitating the design and enactment of those techniques using widely-used 

technological tools (Virtual Learning Environments such as Moodle, web 2.0 tools as Google Drive, etc.).

OBJECTIVES:

*To know and apply well-known strategies for structuring Collaborative Learning situations.

*To design “non-trivial” Collaborative Learning situations with the help of purpose-specific ICT tools.

*To implement (and test) Collaborative Learning situations using existing ICT tools.
