Wikis today are being used as a tool to conduct collaborative writing assignments in classrooms. However, typical Wikis do not adequately address the assessment of individual student contributions toward their groups or provide any automated group formation mechanism. To improve these aspects, we have designed and implemented ClassroomWiki - a web-based collaborative Wiki writing tool. For the students,...
Internet has developed so fast that networked learning is gradually becoming one important part of the modern education. With many great advantages such as the abundant shared resources, convenient communication and flexible collaboration, the networked learning community is now popular among the youth to make individual education. In this paper, networked learning community is introduced including...
One of the key challenges in the promotion of Web-based learning is the development of effective collaborative learning environments. Empirical studies have more recently started to focus less on establishing parameters for effective collaboration and more on trying to understand the role which such variables play in mediating interaction. The procedures and methods of collaborative learning mode,...
The Web forum is a key tool in new knowledge building among students in learning management systems. Unfortunately, the huge number of messages makes difficult, for tutors and teachers, to correctly evaluate the evolution of the forum and its efficacy in the learning process. In order to support the tutors in this effort, a solution, based on simple statistical indices inspired by the work in the...
The purpose of this study was to investigate how to improve the collaborative learning to encourage learners' participation in learning activities through CSCL. In addition,this study further to explore the differences of learning achievement from different collaborative learning environment.This study designed an efficient computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) mechanism and to develop...
The purpose of this study was to investigate how to design an efficient collaborative learning model to develop a constructing consensus framework through CSCL. Our proposed mechanism employs binary tree structure and heterogeneous method to assign and organize the collaborative group. This study used the Web-based environment to carry out a series of collaborative learning activities and to facilitate...
Spoken tutorials are a technique to create powerful documentation on software packages. This approach is especially useful for free or open source software. It is explained through the development of several spoken tutorials on LaTeX. The main advantage of this method is that no special infrastructure is required and hence it lends to collaborative document development.
Collaborative learning is a special group learning activity. In Internet environment, it has been well applied and developed in practice with its advantages of supporting active learning and deep-processing of information, which has received more and more attention from people. This article sets forth the characteristics, structure and advantages of task-oriented collaborative learning model in Internet...
In this paper, we focus on teacher's instrumentation. Previous works on this field mostly propose models and tools to teachers in order to follow the learner's activity. By using indicators, we intent to go further in this research area in order to assist teachers in their activities. Indeed, giving a feedback to teachers about their works thanks to indicators, will enable them to measure their effectiveness...
Scientific practices increasingly incorporate sensors for data capture, information visualization for data analysis, and low-cost mobile devices for field-based inquiries incorporating open Web standards. While a broad range of design approaches for developing technology-enhanced learning has been used by researchers and practitioners for the last 15 years, significant challenges for educational use...
The use of wiki tools in both personal as well as professional contexts has known a significant increase in the past few years, with some wiki-based applications reaching an enormous success at an international level. This paper provides an overview on the recent development of wiki technologies and, through the analysis of a survey, tries to determine what is the level of acceptance of wiki-based...
Verbal communication is a key not only for learning but also for every day life. Since one goal of schools for pupils with cognitive disabilities is to prepare pupils to manage their every day life on their own, we expect that teaching pupils how to learn and work collaboratively by sharing tasks, give directions to each other and understand them, will support this process. In this paper we will present...
This paper proposes a question and answer e-Learning system for Japanese language learning.Utilizing the system, learners ask the questions and teachers answer the question. This is an a synchronous and synchronous teaching-learning environment. To alleviate the burden of teachers, the system checks whether there is a same Q&A in FAQ or not, if the same Q&A exists, then the system answers...
Wikis are very useful for collaborative learning because of their sharing and flexible nature. Many learning activities can use Wiki to facilitate the processes, such as online glossaries, project reports, and dictionaries. Some EFL (English as a Foreign Language) instructors have paid attention to the popularity of Wiki. Although Wikis are very simple and intuitive for users with information literacy,...
Generally, every higher education subject is based on a unique teaching methodology. So, the skills learned by the students are focused to a unique goal in each subject and it is needed many subjects, using different learning methods, to develop several skills. This paper deals with a learning method that is being used in the practices of a postgraduate course in the Higher Polytechnic School of Gandia...
On the basis of basic concept, characteristics and components of collaborative learning, this paper presents the importance of collaborative learning grouping, and then proposes an intelligent grouping method based on cluster analysis technology. At first, the paper introduces grouping criteria and methods centering on grouping strategy. Secondly, the paper presents concept of cluster analysis, variables...
The advantage of project-based, collaborative assignments has been demonstrated to foster greater depth of learning in traditional classroom settings. However, there are numerous challenges that are inherent within this pedagogy,especially in promoting computer supported collaborative learning. Although lots of computer systems and tools are compatible to support project-based learning (PBL) in a...
Collaborative learning concept is popular in autonomous learning time. But the effective measures are to be probed. Some scholars have studied it from their teaching experiences. Thus they have found some effective measures for students. In the present time, some factors have to be considered because of different students in different environment. The researcher has studied the concept of collaborative...
With the development of computer network and modern instructional theory, collaborative learning has become an important instructional strategy in the environment of cyberschools, and it can help develop many important characters of learners, such as creativity, collaboration with people and so on, which are valued highly in modern society. This paper firstly introduces collaborative learning and...
The expanded use of new information technologies has significantly affected both the initiation and the maintenance of professional education. This trend is especially valuable for relatively isolated countries such as Taiwan, where architectural education could be vastly improved by encouraging regular interaction with faculties and practicing professionals outside the country. New, far-reaching...
