{{quotation|CoFFEE is a suite of applications to support collaborative problem-solving discussions in the '''classroom'''. Its main components are a series of tools for collaboration, shared work, individual work and communication. Around these core tools, several other components make it possible to plan, run or participate in a CoFFEE lesson (or session).}} ([http://www.coffee-soft.org/product/overview.aspx Coffee-soft.org], retrieved 11:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC).)

CoFFEE is the main technology produced in the EU [http://www.lead2learning.org/LEAD LEAD] project. The software itself is {{citation|complemented by pedagogical scenarii - customisable lesson plans that are written by the projects researchers. These scenarii offer a good starting point for teachers who want to start using CoFFEE. They include both files that teachers can plug into CoFFEE to run a lesson plan, as well as a written step-by-step lesson plan instructing the teacher on all the relevant aspects of running a CoFFEE supported classroom activity.

== Architecture of the CoFFEE system ==

CoFFEE lessons are called Sessions. A session can be a short part of a whole lesson or span several lessons over a period of several weeks. Such a session is composed of a number of distinct Steps, each with different tools or tool combinations. During the lesson, the teacher can navigate from step to step. A Step may contain a single CoFFEE tool, or a combination of up to 5 different tools.

=== Learner Tools ===

From the "Coffee discusser" tool the learner can access the various learning tools:
* Threaded discussion tool with several extra features, e.g. manage several topics at the same time
* Graphical discussion tool (with grid and time organisation)
* Co-Writer tool
* Positionometer
* Presence and learner groups tool
* Repository
* Chat tool
* Quick messaging tool
* Private note tool. Each other tool also can be configured for private use only.

Additional tools are available as plugins, e.g.
* Streaming tool
* IE Explorer tool
* Document browser tool

=== Teacher Controller tool ===
The '''Controller tool''' (Session Player):
* can manage steps and monitor what students do (except private tools)
* organise sessions and group formation

=== Lesson planner/editor/designer tools ===
Notice: Depending on the publication and version, these tools maybe arranged differently
* The '''Lesson Planner''' can import templates for reuse without changing its structure, e.g. the teacher can adjuste subject matter and groups..
* The '''Session Editor''' allows for advanced configuration of components and to create templates
* The '''Class editor''': Define students and passwords, can also assign students to groups

=== The replayer tool ===

The Replayer (available as "Tatiana") can replay all the details of a sessions. It's both an evaluation and a research tool.

== Modelling and Formats ==

; Scenarios
A [[pedagogical scenario]] in CoFFEE is defined as a '''session''' that includes set of '''steps''' (phases). Each step is defined by an activity - either a classroom activity or a (several) groups activity - usually involving several interactions and supporting tools. Therefore a scenario is '''sequence of activities''' that engage learners in tasks using tools.

In "groups" mode, it is possible to assign different tasks and tools to various groups. Products are only available to group members until the activity ends. After that, the artifacts of all groups are revealed to everybody.

A session can be part of a lesson or extend over a longer period. The activities sequence is assembled, beforehand, as a Session defined as a sequence of steps, through the '''Session Editor/Designer''' component.

Sessions can be extended during runtime and latecomer users also can be managed.

; Templates
A template is a combination of tools and steps that are designed to support an activity type (e.g brainstorming, planning or problem solving) within a particular setting (small groups, whole-class, a particular age-group).
Technically, a template consists of a session file, a description file (in rtf format) and a template information file (xml), which can all be created in the Lesson Planner's Session Editor.

; Tailorability
CoFFEE allows a teacher to (1) use an existing Session, (2) modify an existing Session, (3) create a Session from an existing template, (4) or finally create a Session from scratch. See [[tailorability]]
