Abstract: Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are one of the most used tools in many programming courses. However, they usually do not support the interaction and collaboration between learners and instructors. The aim of our research is to provide methods and frameworks facilitating the collaboration. The originality of our approach is to place courses, and also code sources at the center of collaboration. From this idea, we have designed and developed a collaborative IDE (CIDE). It is a type of web-based groupware containing common conventional collaborative tools (video-conferencing, instant messaging, and so on) and specific IDE dedicated to the programming practice (write code together, track change, versioning…). In this paper, we will present our collaborative IDE.
