Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4018))

Abstract

This paper presents COLLECT-\(\mathcal{UML}\), a constraint-based ITS that teaches object-oriented (OO) design using Unified Modeling Language (UML). We have developed a single-user version that supports students in learning UML class diagrams. The system was evaluated in a real classroom, and the results show that student performance increases significantly. We present our experiences in extending the system to provide support for collaboration and describe the architecture, interface and support for collaboration in the new, multi-user system.
