Summary:In this article we present a 3-layer architecture (MAPIS3) that facilitates the flexible implementation of technology-enhanced collaboration scripts. The proposed architecture introduces a mediator component (MC) as a key element for orchestrating and controlling data flow among tools. These tools can also include external services necessary for script implementation (e.g. a forum or chat, etc.). In our work we present and analyze exemplary MAPIS3 architecture implementations, to showcase the flexibility aspects of the architecture in relation to learning design. In our analysis we focus on aspects such as: a) data flow among tools, b) flexibility for pedagogical level decisions, c) peer interaction visualizations adapted to user and device.
