Résumé
This paper presents the results of three experiences developed in the University of Cádiz (Spain) during the courses 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Web 2.0 tools to promote collaborative work both inside and outside the classroom are employed. Efforts are concentrated along two lines: writing documentation with wiki technology, and collaborative software development. All the work done by the students is publicly available, and automated tools are used for measuring it, which facilitate the feedback to students and make the evaluation process more transparent. Results show that due to these technologies, individual learning problems and problems within workgroups can be easily detected by the instructor. Besides, students feel comfortable with an initiative that turns them into the main actors in the class. Nevertheless, this higher degree of participation makes it necessary the use of automated tools to control the progress of the students
