The Use of Project Management Tools to Support the Coordination of Collaborative Learning

Coordination plays a fundamental role in collaborative learning. When collaboration is supported by computers, automatic coordination mechanisms must be deployed. This paper aims to study the possibility of transfering project management tools commonly used in work contexts to learning contexts. We propose a coordination model that makes the change of area feasible, and that favours learner’s autonomy. Two case studies were carried out and a new tool was built in order to test the hypothesis. The results of the current research suggest that project management tools are viable alternatives to automatic coordination support, as long as they are used under a proper paradigm.
