Abstract

In this paper a synchronous computer supported collaborative learning tool called SyCo is presented. It was designed to facilitate students in performing tasks according to the principles of various collaborative learning strategies, such as Jigsaw and eARMA. SyCo innovates because during the collaborative learning process it allows each student to have a private space to think and draw their ideas before presenting them to their peer-students in the public space. Thus, within SyCo peers can move into and out of a shared space, work privately, copy and paste parts of their own work that had been sketched in their private space in order to share them with others.
