Uma arquitetura de software para o MorFEu: apoiando a realização de arquiteturas pedagógicas em espaços virtuais colaborativos

Abstract

The technological gaps, when it comes to supporting collaborative activities, make possible devising of new proposals to attend the need for technological support for activities distance. This paper presents a software architecture based on Morfeu's proposal which favours the flexible creation and organization of virtual collaborative spaces. Among the main characteristics of this architecture, the flexibility of the support for the collaboration by different ways of organizing and coordinating the interactions and collective individual productions using reorganizable and flexible "areas of authorship" as reference. Finally, a study case was realized by using a software prototype the technological support evaluation, for the fulfillment of the requirements of the communication activity, cooperation and especially of the Pedagogic Architecture named Thesis Debate coordination.
