In this paper we explore the use of collaboration in software development in educational environments. The empirical learning model used is shaped around the creation of communities of practices from educational environments that share similar learning objectives. The model is implemented on a joined platform that supports an open collaborative learning environment and that provides asynchronous connection within the community of practice. An experiment has been carried between the University of the Naples in Italy, and the Kent State University in the United States. A community of practice has been designed around two courses of Computer Programming and Design and a set of software development activities have been generated to observe how the collaboration affected the learning experience. The initial results show that knowledge transfer is highly increased when a formation paradigm is used together with a set of cooperation tools. Assessment of complex process has been defined and is in advanced phase of developing.

Abstract
In this paper we explore the use of collaboration in software development in educational environments. The empirical learning model used is shaped around the creation of communities of practices from educational environments that share similar learning objectives. The model is implemented on a joined platform that supports an open collaborative learning environment and that provides asynchronous connection within the community of practice. An experiment has been carried between the University of the Naples in Italy, and the Kent State University in the United States. A community of practice has been designed around two courses of Computer Programming and Design and a set of software development activities have been generated to observe how the collaboration affected the learning experience. The initial results show that knowledge transfer is highly increased when a formation paradigm is used together with a set of cooperation tools. Assessment of complex process has been defined and is in advanced phase of developing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
