“…Though users cannot use non-replicated artifacts directly on asynchronous/disconnected situations [2] the linking structure would still notify the existence of such an artifact and try to connect to the central memory and retrieve its content, if possible. After the replicated manipulation, the system will evaluate the changes performed and update the central memory whenever necessary.…”

In distributed environments, especially those where asynchronous work is the main rule, organizations need to protect their information's integrity and persistence from the manipulation of shared information resources performed by multiple users. To deal with this scenario the divergent information management aims to support and solve (whenever possible) concurrent manipulation relative to shared information artifacts. Though several approaches can deal with this situation, none of them aims directly at knowledge management or organizational memory creation. In this paper we capitalize on earlier divergent information management approaches, presenting a divergent information model, based on information structuring rather than locking mechanisms over shared resources, as a means for reinforcing the connection between distributed collaboration, decision-making and knowledge management, by enhancing document expressiveness (its persistence and linking). We then use this model as a basis for a computer-supported system to handle divergent information and present detected problems and guidelines for future research..

“…As such, synchronization determines collaborative advances. Thus synchronization can be a way to unify the space and time dimensions of the traditional models [2,8,36], from both the usage and collaborative applications' design perspectives [10]. …”

“…The improvement of the interactions between class members is of extreme importance to us, since they help students to better understand the subjects. For these reasons, we utilize different forms of collaboration in the course [13], helping the students to communicate among class members in different ways, supporting them in the learning process.…”

Many of the engineering education lecture courses are taught only with the support of a board or transparencies. In both cases, the students have to copy the material passed in class, including additional annotations and comments. We performed a controlled experiment to measure the impact of the insertion of a computer mediated collaborative interaction model to support the teaching/learning process in such scenarios, using a Webbased computer application. Our experiment was done during two consecutive semesters of a First Year Programming Engineering course, with 447 enrolled students where 234 students were surveyed. In this paper, we describe the design and execution of the experiment, and show the obtained results. Based on our results, we conclude that there are advantages of using a collaborative interaction model supported by a collaborative software tool in an Engineering course such as the experimented. ß
