Zusammenfassung
Two versions of Moodle and WebCT have been analyzed considering their collaborative language learning tools and the instructional design of two ESP subjects. The instructional design is based on constructivist pedagogy and peer collaboration, as well as five systems adapted from the emerging mobile learning paradigm: team memory, team communication, team awareness, team workplace and team assessment. The results of the analysis are not quite satisfactory as none of the two Virtual Learning Environments provide enough tools to design efficient and satisfactory ESP team-focussed activities.
