exploits the power of on-line technologies to enable engineering –more generally, STEM– students to develop thoroughunderstanding of technical topics through collaborative learning. Our approach, as we show, has anumber of important advantages over most approaches to face-to-face collaborative learning. Wehave implemented a prototype web app, CONSIDER, based on our approach and used it in twoComputer Science and Engineering courses: a graduate level theory of programming languagescourse, and an undergrad principles of programming languages course. It was very well received,with 15 out of 22 students in the grad course, and 13 out of 21 students in the undergrad courseindicating, in a post-discussion survey, that the approach provided them a better
