英文原文Extending the Limits of CVE s to Support Collaborativee-Learning ScenariosAbstractThis paper proposes the use of collaborative virtualenvironments in order toprovide collaborative e-learningservices in an efficient and cost effective way. On the onehand, we present the transformation of well knowncollaborative learning techniques to collaborative elearningscenarios. The collaborative learningtechniques, which arediscussed in this paper, arebrainstorming/roundtable, think pair share, jigsaw,quickwrites/microthemes, and structured academiccontroversies. On the other hand, we describe thenecessary modifications of the collaborative virtualenvironments in order to support collaborative e-learningservices and scenarios. Main proposals are theintegration of more media to offer more awareness, thesupport of more people with different roles, and thedefinition of an integrated system architecture.1、IntroductionIt is well known that collaborative e-learning is adefinite need nowadays. Much research and technologicalwork has been done in order to support and/or to offer elearningservices. In the technological field there aretechnologies, commercial tools, and/or researchprototypes to support e-learning [1], [3]. Theoreticalframeworks and learning techniques have been presentedfor collaborative learning. Furthermore it is more difficultfor both learners to learn and teachers to teach fromdistance. Thus, in order to provide collaborative elearningservices to the users in an effective way, it isneeded to incorporate available or new technologies withlearning theories and the user needs. Starting from theuser requirements, we have realised that the main usersneed is to be more aware about the actions of the rest ofusers in the collaborative e-learning groups. Systems,which satisfy this need and integrate the necessary toolsfor realising the collaborative e-learning techniques, havemany possibilities to succeed. Furthermore, an effective elearningsystem, which provides valuable
