	abstract = {In Cooper, part of the student support will be provided by a Question Answering application in the form of a webservice. Question Answering allows a user to use the content of project document as input to find related documents as well as related experts. Latent Semantic Analysis as an underlying technique is briefly discussed followed by a description of our Latent Semantic Analysis engine and the software architecture that was developed. Issues for further development are also mentioned. The final section contains a specific case study of an environment in which an implementation is planned.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, engineering studies are characterized by high mobility of students, lecturers and workforce and by the dynamics of multi-national companies where classes or students{\textquoteright} teams composed of persons with different competencies and backgrounds, working together in projects to solve complex problems. Such an environment will become increasingly relevant in multinational universities and companies, and it has brought a number of challenges to existing e-learning technologies. COOPER is an ongoing project that focuses on developing and testing such a collaborative and project-centred leaning environment. This paper proposes a COOPER framework and shows its approaches to address the various research challenges.},
