This product provides interesting possibilities for developing teaching and learning in schools toward a more collaborative direction with ICT. In this sense, according to Dooly (2008) Collaborative learning shifts the responsibility for learning to the student, in the role of “researcher” and self-directed learner. In order to work towards a collaborative learning approach, the teacher must fully understand their students’ preferred learning styles and their own conceptions of learning. This can help the teacher decide where and how to start an online cooperative/collaborative project. (Maricarmen Gamero and Yohimar Sivira, 2014)
