Abstract
In Distant Open Learning system, the lack of socialization between learners appears to be one of the major faults. If the socialization is very important to construct knowledge, it is also essential from other points of view such as political, economical or ethical.
So, the learning resource center could be used by the pedagogical teams as the best place to promote collective work. This kind of work provides means which allow learners to locate their level with regard to the group.
In order to progress in this direction, we have adapted existing tools mainly designed for the office automation domain to our educational needs. These software tools which allow cooperative work are also named “groupware”.
After a review of the “groupware” concept, we will describe a system we have set up to facilitate cooperation between learners involved in the same task.
This system has been experimented with using Hypercard in a learning resource center where learners have tools to cooperate in a real time mode, and we have focused our attention particularly on the coordination of the learners'points of view.
The first results of that study are related as well as the perspectives of development of such systems.
