Abstract
Distance Learning is an activity showing different modalities of cooperation among teachers and students. Moreover, a relevant part of this activity is devoted to the organizational aspects supporting the main mission of teaching and learning. CSCW technologies can provide suitable tools for many Distance Learning activities. The paper presents a tool supporting collaborative dialogues through the exchange of semistructured messages and describes how the provided functionalities can be exploited in various activities required by Distance Learning. The main focus of the paper is on functionalities devoted, on the one hand, to the automatic management of parts of the dialogues, and on the other hand, to the maintenance of the organizational and cognitive contexts in which collaborative dialogues occur.
