Abstract
Design and simulation environments are tools offering contrasted benefits for discovery learning in multiple domains. However, when these domains are complex the problems that the students have to solve during their learning justify the necessity to carry out the design activity itself in groups. From the perspective of modelling and simulation in collaboration, we present DomoSim-TPC, a system supporting collaborative learning in Domotics1. The system provides shared workspaces integrating tools for domain problem solving with generic but customized tools to support collaborative decisions and discussions. The potential of this synthesis to support learning tasks in modelling is described. We outline the mechanisms offered by the system and discuss our solution compared to other relevant systems.
Domotics: It is the technical discipline that studies housing automation. It is also called intelligent building design.
