Um Ambiente Colaborativo para o Ensino à Distância

Collaborative learning is an implicit feature in learning from case studies, as the method requires that the learners collaborate in order to solve a case study. In this paper we describe a collaborative intelligent learning environment that supports group activity in distance learning from case studies. The system architecture is agent-based and the system assists the learners during the collaborative process of developing a solution to a case study.
