This deliverable describes the prototype version of CoPe_it!, a web-based tool that supports argumentative collaboration towards learning. The prototype is in a demonstrable form, and can be used and tested through the web (http://copeit.cti.gr/). We present here the rationality behind its development, its generic features and functionalities, its technical specifications, and its deliberate limitations. We also provide a brief discussion on related approaches that validates our motivation and reveals interesting issues to be considered in the future. We conclude with a set of steps to be followed during the evolution of CoPe_it! in the next six months in the context of Palette.
