EduSHARE: a peer to peer document sharing system for obtaining adaptive learning procedures

Technology enhanced learning tools are widely used to support learning process activities. The most diffuse technology in this sense is represented by e-learning web platforms that provide remote access to course documents and services. While e-learning should be considered a user-centric paradigm by following the development of each individual task; however, most recent learning practices are still conveniently collaborative, in which the focus is on interacting and sharing the most profitable information for a scheduled goal lesson. This article presents EduSHARE, a P2P distributed learning system based on a group-based file sharing extended with dynamic test modules aimed to be integrated in a course to cope with need to make exercises in a dynamic way enforcing students to cooperate better. This approach meets the recent trend of collaborative learning system for integrating enhanced learning process and student-teacher interaction that are empowered by the advancement of technology. The goal is to reach an improved interactivity between several actors playing in a common lesson scenario; we also expect an increased student concentration due to a more interesting and interacting lesson.
