We are developing a Web-based tool called WebGuide to
mediate and structure collaborative learning. This software
uses an innovative mechanism to define a flexible system of
perspectives on a shared knowledge construction space.
WebGuide provides an electronic and persistent workspace
for individuals and teams to develop and share distinctive
points of view on a topic. We are designing the software
and associated usage practices by trying it out in a middle
school classroom and an advanced graduate seminar. Our
experience in these use situations has raised a range of
questions concerning theoretical and practical issues,
which are driving our research. This paper is a reflection
on what we are learning collaboratively about how software
artifacts can mediate learning and shared cognition.
Keywords: perspectives, collaborative learning, computer support
