This method is described with special reference to the learning of essential issues in Computer Science and especially in the area of programming languages. These issues in-clude an understanding of: (a) basic elements of structured programming lan-guages, (b) the rapid evolution of the area of programming languages, (c) the learning of programming languages’ levels and techniques. The innovative de-scription of the Jigsaw collaborative method within LAMS is based on the fact that: (a) the tasks assigned to the expert groups consist of investigation of real world scenarios and not merely the study of learning material as is usually pro-posed, (b) adaptive techniques are integrated with the method and (c) for the de-sign of the collaborative learning activity, an intuitive learning design tool like LAMS is used.
