The objective is first to evaluate critically how the use of the collaborative platform CCRE worked as a catalyst for engaging the students with their own learning process and for approaching the students and teachers. Second, to understand how this technology has helped to create a new teacher/student interaction, making communication much easier and giving to the students a more active role in the learning process. The paper begins with a short introduction of the program and pedagogical strategy in CAAD and then describes the strategy and model applied in the case study for teaching, referring also the type of digital material and learning tools that were used. Finally, the most significant results for each case study are discussed and a set of conclusions will be drawn in the light of last case study. The results, besides other things, highlight how the learning process that rises from the creative use of an open collaborative platform as CCRE and facebook with a blended learning approach strengthens the teacher’s capacity to work as a team and helps to open the university to its city and people.
