Abstract
A web-based learning environment should include collaborative learning tools as well as control tools. The collaborative learning tools should provide to the participating facilitators and in–service teachers the capability to research, organize, put together, save, and share with all participants a variety of objects such as texts, files, directories, relevant websites, images, notes etc. The creation of data bases, chat rooms and digital images, texts, music and video should be provided from the facilitators. A useful contribution of the control tools should foster quantitative and qualitative evaluation for the interaction between facilitators, in–service teachers and the web-based learning environment concerning the e–teaching courses and the research projects being developed.
