Abstract
CSCL systems are valuable supports for distance and face to face learners as well. With the aim of offering the accurate information to learners, the graphical interface of the environment has to be designed in a manner that it offers the right elements to participate and understand the collaboration in the environment. The aim of this paper is to offer the design of a discovery learning environment called Co-Lab and how the collaborative graphical interface has been built on it.
