  • Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) aims at promoting active learning and knowledge construction through the interaction with peers, mediated and supported by software tools, which make it very attractive for engineering courses. Despite this, there are not so many successful CSCL scenarios happening on a regular basis. Several CSCL frameworks try to overcome these limitations by providing guidelines either to educators, or software developers or institutions. However, there is a lack of a global understanding of the whole CSCL lifecycle shared among all stakeholders. Here we propose a framework that tries to point out issues and recommendations for all stakeholders along the whole CSCL lifecycle. It considers the influences between the social and organisational context, the learning process designed by the educator, the technology used to support it, and the evaluation of both the process and the technology. We illustrate the usage of this framework with its application to an engineering course on Computer Architecture conceived for a virtual university.
