 | | It takes a look at various alternative approaches to the problem of adequately transferring the highly dynamic requirements of the learning environment to CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) applications. |
 | | The second article, “AVANTE: A Web Based Instruction Architecture based on XML/XSL Standards, Free Software and Distributed CORBA Components”, authored by Víctor Theoktisto, Adelaide Bianchini, Edna Ruckhaus and Lee Lima, describes the architecture being used at the Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela). |
