Abstract

Designing effective collaborative learning activities for classroom is challenging. The PyramidApp is a tool that facilitates the implementation of the Pyramid pattern, shaping a collaboration structure that promotes the participation of all students and fruitful social interactions. This paper shows how this educational strategy can be applied to different types of tasks and subject matters, shedding light about how computer-supported collaborative learning can be incorporated in the classroom.
