Fle3 WebTops the interface that scaffolds students' storing, organizing and sharing their own knowledge resources including documents, files, links and notes.

Fle3 Jamming tool is the interface that scaffolds members of a group to collaboratively construct and improve digital artifacts such as pictures, text, audio and videos.

The knowledge types guides pupils to think adequate and important things related to the process, and this way helps them to write more substantial notes to the discussion forum.

Depending on the selected knowledge types set, users get guidelines and a checklist on how to write their notes to the discussion forum.

However, the objective of the FLE project was not only to bring new theoretical approaches to the discussion, but also to design learning practices and technology based on the theories.

[6] In the late 1990s the research, development and design team members of the first FLE project were greatly influenced by the work of Carl Bereiter and Marlene Scardamalia, and their concept of Knowledge building.

In the design of FLE software, Bereiter's and Scardamalia's Computer-Supported Intentional Learning Environment (CSILE) was used as a reference.

For instance, already in the early design specifications of FLE there was the idea of shared artefacts that are collaboratively constructed alongside the knowledge building activities.

The software was designed in Media Lab in Helsinki but programmed by a Finnish company called NSD Consulting Oy.

Fle-Tools was developed in a Future Learning Environment project funded by Tekes - the National Technology Agency of Finland.

Fle-Tools was described to be: (1) www-based service for computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL); (2) on-line learning community and teamwork environment; (3) collection of server-based applications and databases and (4) cross-platform for end users (www-browser in Linux, Mac, Win PC, WebTV, Nokia Communicator, etc.).

Because of the collapse of the original Future Learning Environment project consortium in 1999 the research and design partners felt that they must continue the FLE development on their own.

Fle2 was based on the design of Fle-Tools, but this time the software development and programming was carried-out in Media Lab Helsinki.

The Fle2 was built on top of the BSCW - Basic Support for Cooperative Work software developed by the Fraunhofer Society in Germany.

The University of Murcia's main task was to develop the synchronous communications tools, which were then integrated experimentally to BSCW and Fle3.

The software based on BSCW was named at first Synergeia and later BSCL (Basic Support for Collaborative Learning).

[5] The core component of FLE3, the scaffolded knowledge-building discussion board, was re-created as a simple plugin in WordPress[8] , the ubiquitous open source web server system.
