[EN] Currently, the internet is full of freely accessible resources that can provide
excellent learning opportunities. However, these resources are usually not
well organized, and for many users it is often difficult to use these dispersed
sources of knowledge in a coordinated way. The project CommonS aims at
building a space - called CommonSpaces - dedicated to communities of
practice in which participants learn through the cataloguing, re-use,
adaptation and sequencing of Open Educational Resources (OERs) into socalled
learning paths. We define a Learning Path as an organized set of
interconnected OERs (created by communities of users) that can be created
by users both to organize their learning experience and to provide consistent
learning sequences for others. In this paper, we briefly present the rationale
and the theoretical foundations of the project. Then we discuss the features of
CommonSpaces in its first prototype version and describe the preliminary
findings from a pioneering experience of collaborative learning carried out
by means of CommonSpaces. We conclude discussing the ongoing collective
modeling of the final version of CommonSpaces and its future directions.Lariccia, S.; Ritella, G.; Montanari, M.; Cesareni, D.; Toffoli, G. (2016).
