Abstract
The Web is the most pervasive collaborative technology in widespread use today; and its use to support
eLearning has been highly successful. There are many web-based Virtual Learning Environments such as
WebCT, FirstClass, and BlackBoard as well as associated web-based Managed Learning Environments. In
the future, the Grid promises to provide an extremely powerful infrastructure allowing both learners and
teachers to collaborate in various learning contexts and to share learning materials, learning processes,
learning systems, and experiences. This position paper addresses the role of support for sharing artefacts
in distributed systems such as the Grid. An analogy is made between collaborative software development
and collaborative learning with the goal of gaining insights into the requisite support for artefact sharing
within the eLearning community.
