	abstract = {The paper aims at illustrating the original technical solution provided within an academic institute in order to manage teaching activities, encompassing the coordination of project-centred learning processes that run in parallel with the formal theoretical courses. Unlike the planning of the academic teaching that can be scheduled year by year, the development of a project cannot be defined over a long period, but it requires frequent report reviews and updating by the different actors involved in the project. From this consideration, and due to the peculiar context of the ALaRI institute, it was clear the necessity to manage asynchronous and synchronous communications occurring during the ongoing project, facilitating the team members{\textquoteright} remote interactions and cooperation. The provided solution within the EU COOPER project is the answer to more and more common scenarios of use, reflecting not only university requirements, but also industrial needs based on the cooperative teamwork among persons geographically dispersed and with heterogeneous competences.},

	abstract = {The aim of this paper is to present an innovative approach to the working organization and learning environment, experimented at ALaRI (Advanced Learning and Research Institute), the academic institute at the Universit{\`a} della Svizzera italiana, in Switzerland, that, since 1999, promotes research and education in embedded systems design . Through the introduction and the use of an ad-hoc intranet tool, new social and technological dynamics have been developing at the institute, integrating learning in presence with remote cooperation in a complex and distributed reality. Presenting the practical experiences occurred within the ALaRI environment, through an analysis of the context needs and of the tool usability, the reader will discover the conditions and the reasons that have led to designing and implementing this intranet platform, but also troubles and limitations of the intranet will be explored from a usability and communication point of view. From these experiences a plentiful research material arises to investigate new workflows and new ideas for virtual workplace.},
