A Notification Manager to support collaborative learning in LMS Moodle

The main purpose of this paper is to present an awareness information service called Notification Manager. The implementation of the manager is embedded into the Learning Management System Moodle. The aim of the Notification Manager is to support student-student interactions in collaborative learning tasks performed by students and instructors into the system. To test the implemented manager, an experimentation was carried out with students from the Simulation course at the Faculty of Informatics Engineering at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, UPB-Montería (Colombia) in the second semester of 2013.
