A Flexible and Tailorable Architecture for Scripts in F2F Collaboration

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5192))

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the architecture of the script engine of a collaborative co-located discussion support system, named CoFFEE, and, in particular, we describe its extendibility and flexibility as a macro-script engine for CSCL activities [7].
