Abstract

The work proposed in this plan aims at investigating the application of structured hyperdocuments in the construction of a Web-based collaborative virtual environment, making use of sound software engineering practices. The principal contributions of the proposed work would result of the synergies of the areas of Web-based Distributed Hypertext Systems and Computer Supported Collaborative Work when applied to Web-based Computer Supported Instruction. As specific results, associated models and tools are expected to be produced. (AU)
