Publications on the subject of collaborative construction demonstrate the benefits of cooperation among students and analyze how these benefits can be enhanced Evain, De Marco, & Gutierrez, 2013;Evain, De Marco, & Carolan, 2013).

Trujillo (2002) classifies methods according to what they aim to promote: discovery learning, student team learning, learning together, and group investigation and concludes that "the differences between each method are the degree of structure in the task, the use of rewards, and individual assessment methods" (p. 8).…”

What collaborative process can teachers offer in order to stimulate their students' reading of and writing on Shakespeare's plays? How can new technologies contribute to facilitating the classroom experience? The eZoomBook (eZB) template was designed for teachers to create and share multi-level digital books called "eZoomBooks" that allow readers to access enriched versions of the original, organized according to different tabs related to places mentioned in the original text. A zooming in and out function enables the readers of the eZoomBooks to navigate freely between the original and the enriched tabulated versions. This paper focuses on a pilot study of the methodology using a simplified version of the template. The targeted learners were English as a Second Language engineering students. Our objective is to show that the eZB framework and pedagogical applications are especially appropriate in making a difficult subject easier to teach (giving and correcting group assignments) and learn by providing learners an innovative and motivating approach to reading literature.

International audienceThis article outlines the development of a tool called “eZoomBook”, that allows contributors to customize the length of documents and provide the end-user (i.e., potential readers on the platform) the means to “zoom in” or “zoom out” of the original document, thus giving readers a choice to read either the full version (always present on the platform) or modified shorter versions that contributors create using the eZoomBook tool and methodology. This article explores the ways the tool can be used to make reading more “learner-friendly” in the classroom setting and it highlights possibilities of having add-on applications to the platform such as learning games (MyGame-4U). It shows how the eZoomBook methodology combined with the MyGame-4u add-on has the potential to make reading more engaged, and finally opens up perspectives for development of other applications of the tool and areas for future research
