The document describes the Learn3 system created by GTI at UPF for authoring and sharing learning designs. It provides an overview of the system's current version and capabilities, which allow for social sharing, co-editing of designs using three integrated editors, and commenting on designs. Two use case scenarios are presented: one for collaborative work between biology teachers at multiple disciplines, and a second for a community of high schools sharing biology learning designs. More information on demonstrations, papers, and the system's evaluation are provided at the end.

Editor's Notes
- #14: Physical spaces, such as classrooms or the playground, have a relevant role in collaborative learning since they can bring students together and shape their interactions [1, 2]. The characteristics of a particular space can encourage experimentation, exploration, collaboration, and discussion. The introduction of technologies in physical educational spaces has brought new possibilities that are transforming the learning experiences [3]. Computational artifacts such as media representation systems, remote interaction systems, room-scale peripherals and devices such as handhelds have moved from being conceived as means to support distance communication and learning to be elements embedded in augmented physical spaces that can enrich face-to-face learning experiences [4, 5]. Teachers can design new learning strategies according to their perceived affordance regarding the properties of these technologies [6]. Technology-enhanced educational spaces go beyond the desktop computing by using interactive artifacts and computing facilities derived from three fields: tangible user interfaces, ubiquitous computing and augmented reality [7]. Tangible user interfaces involve explicit contact with the computing artifacts such as tabletops, smartboards, multitouch screens and tangible building blocks [8, 9, 10, 11]. Ubiquitous computing deals with situating and embedding devices within a space so that computational power is available everywhere and the interaction with the devices is mediated through this space. This is now possible due to improvements in computing power, hardware size, wireless communications, power management, and software architectures. Ubiquitous computing offers new possibilities for helping people organize and work collaboratively, mediating social interactions in technology-rich spaces. Ubiquitous computing devices used to support learning settings include light-weight and roomware awareness tool devices [12], mobile phones, QR codes, radio-frequency identification tags and GPS [13, 14, 15]. The devices can incorporate sensors, actuators or both, and can also be network linked. These tangible and ubiquitous devices are augmenting the reality, in the sense that they overlay and add digital information to real objects or integrate computer power into them [5, 16].
- #15: The orchestration of collaborative learning processes in face-to-face physical settings, such as classrooms, requires teachers to coordinate students indicating them who belong to each group, which collaboration areas are assigned to each group, and how they should distribute the resources or roles within the group.While the orchestration problem has been to a large extent solved in the context of PC-oriented learning environments (see for example the collaborative learning flows created with Collage and run in IMS LD compliant systems [18]), no solutions have been proposed to provide coordination information to students in wearable devices so that the use of a PC is not required and, therefore, more agile dynamics in different spaces are enabled.

- #17: In this paper, we introduce a system that adds digital orchestration information to ubiquitous devices that can be worn by students. This orchestration information refers to coordination aspects of collaborative learning processes [17], such as group formation indicators, signals to indicate the distribution of resources during the activity, etc.
- #18: The Orchestration Signal system prototype includes multiple Personal Signal devices (PS-device), which have visualization module and a communication module, and the Orchestration Signal manager (OS-manager), a graphical user interface to monitor and control the experience.
- #19: In this initial phase, since the activity is individual, the members of each Jigsaw group do not need to be physically close in the classroom, however they should pick one case (out of three) so that in each member of a Jigsaw group reads a different case. Orchestration signal required: indicating the case to pick
- #20: specific work area of the classroom so that they are close to each other.
- #21: Jigsaw groups will meet in a specific work area of the classroom so that they share a PC and are close to each other. These work areas should be as much separated as possible from other Jigsaw groups. Orchestration signal required: indicating Jigsaw groups and group working areas
