Collaborative Computing and E-learning

In this paper we present the Collaborative Computing Frameworks (CCF) as an integration platform for e-learning. The capabilities of the CCF facilitate mixed modes of delivery and the possibility to integrate already existing e-learning platforms. The CCF features allow to form different groups during the learning process. This coupled with peer-to-peer communication facilities, promotes the efficient implementation of collaborative technologies as an important component of the Dialogue phase of the learning process. The new Collaborative Computing Transport Layer (CCTL) will allow wireless devices to be experimented with for the purposes of e-learning. It is envisaged that this direction will dramatically widen the possibilities for content delivery.
