MEDIT aims at providing modern pedagogical support using the so-called new information and communication technologies (NICT). Emphasis is given on how such an approach may affect the relations between students and teachers, and enhance the services offered in a traditional course framework. To address these objectives, the authors environment is based on a decomposition of course workspaces and provides an advanced hypermedia system for each of them. In addition, to stimulate an active participation of the actors involved, tools for multiple view representation, private workspaces and group discussion have been integrated.
