CLASS: A Computer Platform for the Development of Education's Collaborative Applications

In spite of the important development that the Web has gone through in the last years, the field of education has not taken fully advantage of this development. Using this technology on the educational process could bring different benefits for all its users. In this paper we propose a computer platform on the Web for the development of education’s collaborative applications. This platform includes access control through passwords, and queries to a database with structured information, semi-structured data and meta-information. We also provide some facilities of collaboration for the applications developed. Finally we propose some applications that can be supported by this platform, and we provide the possibility to built other applications not only on the Web.
