== Definition ==

A '''computer-integrated classroom''' is a technologically augmented traditional classroom, i.e. with interactive whiteboards, networked notebooks and special software tools to allow [[Collaborative learning|collaborative activities]].

See also: [[Technology-enhanced classroom]] (for general ICT-in-the-classroom related issues) and [[learning activity space]]

== The architecture of a CIC ==

CIC technology should firstly support "learning with the computer", i.e. include [[cognitive tool]]s such as tool-rich [[microworld]]s. An example would be the (freely available) [[Freestyler]] program. In addition, teachers ought to be able to create, share and repurpose sophisticated [[pedagogical scenario]]s.
