Abstract: Technology enhanced learning tools are widely used to support learning process activities. The most diffuse technology in this sense is represented by e-learning web platforms that provide remote access to course documents and services. While e-learning should be considered a user-centric paradigm by following the development of each individual task; however, most recent learning practices are still conveniently collaborative, in which the focus is on interacting and sharing the most profitable information for a scheduled goal lesson. This article presents EduSHARE, a P2P distributed learning system based on a group-based file sharing extended with dynamic test modules aimed to be integrated in a course to cope with need to make exercises in a dynamic way enforcing students to cooperate better. This approach meets the recent trend of collaborative learning system for integrating enhanced learning process and student-teacher interaction that are empowered by the advancement of technology. The goal is to reach an improved interactivity between several actors playing in a common lesson scenario; we also expect an increased student concentration due to a more interesting and interacting lesson.
