Abstract
The paper illustrates a methodology for the design of courses, which can be offered as traditional classroom-based, hybrid or distance courses. It is based on collaborative learning environment realized by means of Web 2.0 technologies, aimed at fostering an effective and engaging users’ cooperation. The paper presents three examples, implemented on top of the collaborative environment DIEL, which extends the Moodle web portal.
