Method for processing interactive collaborative learning for a group of people
First Claim
1. A method for processing interactive computer supported collaborative learning applications (activities) for a group of people (class) visually present with each other and a teacher that supervises them, comprising the steps of:
- a) creating and selecting from a web site collaborative learning applications with the corresponding data and download them from the Internet to the teacher'"'"'s device (master);
b) providing a wired or wireless networked device to all members of the class that are visually present;
c) forming a set of groups with members that are visually present, by creating groups of slave devices according to the collaboration mode of the activity;
d) sending from the master to the different students'"'"' devices (slaves) a previously selected activity, being able to send each of the groups the same or different data and/or application;
e) the group members, mediated by their devices, and/or controlled by the teacher, interact for solving problems or answering questions collaboratively;
f) the group devices transmit the transactions performed by the group to the teacher'"'"'s device in order to store the group log and display the group outcome at each moment, and g) the teacher can finish an activity by groups independently or all groups simultaneously;
afterwards, she/he can select another activity and send it to the students or stop the network connection;
h) the teacher uploads from his/her device to the web site the different groups results (log).

Abstract
A method for processing interactive collaborative learning for a group of people (class), visually present and a teacher that supervises them. The teacher and each student works with a wired or wireless networked devices. The class is divided in a set of groups that are visually present. The method allows the group members, mediated by their devices, to interact for solving problems and answering questions that can be solved only collaboratively. The role of the networked devices is to present information on each of the participants'"'"' electronic display devices, transmit information between the group members, apply the rules of the application stored in each device considering the information of each of the members of the group stored in each of the participants device, and transmit the transactions performed by the group to the teachers device in order to store the group log and display the group outcome at each moment to monitor its progress. The method includes one collaborative way of answering questions and three forms of collaborative problem solving.

11. A method to automatically recover a session from a slave networked device, wherein the broke down, lost data or lost connection with the master, compromising the following steps:
- a) In case of data or connection lost, both the master and slaves devices will retry to establish the previously existent connection automatically;
b) When a) fails, or the networked device(s) break down, the networked device(s) have to be reset;
c) after reset the network ID and the individual ID are entered into the network device;
