Abstract: This article presents EVA_pm, a scaffolding environment for students ' projects. It's a constructivist environment that aims to scaffold Project-Based Learning (PBL) strategies (from the management of the students assignments up to the writing of their final report), to improve their effectiveness and serve as a reflection tool to help students develop meta-cognitive skills. EVA_pm leverages XML (eXtended Markup Language) and suggests a vocabulary (DTD) that describes students ' projects (assessments, theses, etc.) as a prompting tool. The vocabulary is well accompanied with an online toolset ("commNcontrol " and "Virtual Book") to scaffold communication, visualization, peering, and progress tracking.
