The WebReports website allows children to create text-based and interactive content that is accessible on line and to comment on each other's work, thereby being provided with opportunities to collaboratively build knowledge around a range of different learning domains. In this document we first summarise our key findings. We then provide an account of the evolution of the system during the three years of the project, giving the rationale for our major changes. Finally, we describe the functionality and architecture of the final version of the WebReports system.
