The research carried out all through this work aimed at finding an answer in online contexts to an initial question: How to use the information and communication technology (ICT) in nontraditional teaching/learning processes? The answer came through the development of a wiki dedicated to Design issues in the Faculty of Fine Arts of Oporto (FBAUP). The wiki was the online context elected as object of study, because it is collaborative software. The concept of collaboration is the basis of the Socio-constructivist theory which we have chosen as foundation for the teaching methodology adopted while being consonant with the new communication paradigms. The Socio-constructivist theory is particularly compatible with the new learning paradigms dictated by the Bologna Process. Thus we pretend to obtain a practical tool that might contribute to the improvement of the teaching/learning process of the Design course in the FBAUP. Throughout this study, we have broached more general themes that help understand the implemented teaching/learning process model. This model, being of a practical nature, has lead this study to an equally practical observation where the model itself kept developing in the sight of reactions obtained through the participation of the students as well as the communications held with them. The adopted strategies, the obtained results and the drawn conclusions are also described in this study. Besides this information, difficulties and future development perspectives are also referred to. Bearing in mind that we are dealing with an applied research, the object of study is constantly changing; implying constant changes in the attainment of future results and consequent success.
