Moreover, these environments should be integrated into larger systems aiming at supporting the communities of interest and communities of practice necessary for educating and guiding interested teachers. This paper firstly describes a conceptual framework for collaborative learning. It then proposes a functional architecture conveying that vision and finally a system that implements that architecture.
