This paper describes an approach for modeling and implementing a collaborative learning situation, which is part of a real lifelong learning scenario in astronomy. We adopt and slightly adjust IMS Learning Design for computationally representing the script so that collaborative tools can be satisfactorily employed. We use Collage editor, which enables the re-use of general structures proposed by Collaborative Learning Flow Patterns, for authoring the script and Gridcole system for executing it. The paper also shows the log-files produced by the employed tools. The teacher can use these log-files to monitor the evolution of the process for evaluation and regulation purposes.
