This article presents the results of three pedagogical researches with students of the Architecture and Urbanization, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Drawing courses at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná. The Architecture and Urbanization students had a bimodal teaching. In the classroom teaching, theoretical and practical classes, tutorial and scenarios of collaborative learning activities based on projects were offered. In the virtual teaching, a site at the Internet was built to introduce the learning program, the didactic contract and the didactic material, and to help the apprentices on the new knowledge construction. To help the collaborative learning growth in a pedagogical approach of network learning community, the students' group used the Eureka interface. For the Electrical Engineering students three activities were proposed. The first one was an environmental heating project activity, accomplished in the classroom. The second was a bibliographical research using the forum tool of the Eureka system. The third activity consisted of implementing a proto-board plate electrical circuit to make the printed circuit plate. For the Industrial Drawing course students the developed activities with projects were established from the collaborative learning, seeking a form of using the teaching with research, which placed the students in front of a team situation that simulated the professional experience of Internet pages creation. The results of the researches indicated that with the collaborative learning new forms of teaching and learning could be developed and placed the students in the intersection of an enormous range of interactions.
