Abstract
Digital libraries have been rather successful in supporting learning
activities by providing learners with access to information and knowledge.
However, this level of support is passive to learners and interactive and
collaborative learning cannot be easily achieved. In this paper, we study how
digital libraries could be extended to serve a more active role in collaborative
learning activities. We focus on developing new services to support a common
type of learning activity, field study, in a geospatial context. We propose the
concept of personal project space that allows individuals to work in their
personalized environment with a mix of private and public data and at the same
time to share part of the data with team members. To support the portability of
the resources in our digital library, the selected resources can be exported in an
organized manner.
