Abstract

The Internet has permitted some changes that may not have been foreseen on its initial design. We started to constitute friendly or professional interactions, and it eventually enabled the emergence of collaborative actions that resulted in cognitive processes in unusual ways, that is, that take place without the physical presence of those involved but with the effective participation of everyone involved in a broad and democratic approach, constituting a collective intelligence. In the professional world, these interactions can turn into significant gains to developed activities. This chapter reviews relevant findings concerning the cognitive aspects related to the knowledge construction developed under the collaborative work approach in Learning Management Systems (LMS). When working collaboratively in a LMS, the subjects engage in cognitive processes mediated by hypermedia resources that potentially have positive impact on their ability to construct, sense, and/or produce knowledge, to the extent that these resources dynamically dialogue with the already markedly multimodal human cognitive ability. In order to support the analysis, the authors present the relationship between cognitive processes and hypermedia and their influence on knowledge production in an LMS. They also present two experiences developed in Moodle, which showed the possibility of using such resources for people prone to collaboration, resulting in a continuous design optimization of the mentioned course.
