摘要: In this paper the Authors describe a series of activities that has been planned and completed at Sapienza University Rome. This contribution concerns development an original web-site created for supporting students enrolled course Mechanical Engineering. The developed Site, called KinSynth, is virtual space where have both download upload privileges, which allows them to exchange variety information, mainly Codes written in Open Source Programming Languages. system all up-loaders achieve Authoring credits feature trigs certain psychological dynamics among learners present investigation are willing analyze. Hence, online survey proposed registered students-users with two objectives: a) understanding whether Site really useful students, or only sub-group them; b) achieving better knowledge learners' typologies attempting correlate their attitude these Web-based activities. questionnaire on basis some indicators could identify student typologies, such as, example, those making reference Gardner's multiple intelligence model, web-user styles. results will be used next semester order build up new orientation
