Abstract
This chapter presents an innovative description of the Jigsaw collaboration method, in the form of an online, adaptive collaborative design-pattern that has been constructed taking into account adaptation techniques, within the context of open-source learning design-based environments such as LAMS. This method is described with special reference to the learning of essential issues in Computer Science and especially in the area of programming languages. These issues include an understanding of: (a) basic elements of structured programming languages, (b) the rapid evolution of the area of programming languages, (c) the learning of programming languages’ levels and techniques. The innovative description of the Jigsaw collaborative method within LAMS is based on the fact that: (a) the tasks assigned to the expert groups consist of investigation of real world scenarios and not merely the study of learning material as is usually proposed, (b) adaptive techniques are integrated with the method and (c) for the design of the collaborative learning activity, an intuitive learning design tool like LAMS is used.
