This paper presents the experience of applying the Social Intelligence Design (SID) paradigm in a multidisciplinary course
planned with Collaborative Learning (CL). Through the experience, three levels of SID were discovered; one was the social
product/artifact, the other two were the student’s social process and the professor’s social process. Authors propose a framework
for SID-based education and CL as a possible tool for supporting and assessing such experiences. The experience of this approach
seems very promising for social product innovation, social entrepreneurship, and social awareness.
