This paper discusses the proposed model of the collaborative virtual learning system for the introductory computer programming course which uses one of the collaborative learning techniques known as the “Think-Pair-Share”. The main objective of this study is to design a model for an online learning system that facilitates the collaborative learning activities in a virtual environment such as on...

The integration of practice and learning is a key to cultivation of or­ ganizational capability for creating or inheriting intellect. In this paper, firstly we address the critical research issues for collaborative space design to inte­ grate practice and learning. Following the discussion, we have built an ontology which specifies the structure of the collaborative learning, described patterns...

World Wide Web (Web)-based learning (WBL), problem-based learning (PBL), and collaborative learning are at present the most powerful educational options in higher education. A blended (hybrid) course combines traditional face-to-face and WBL approaches in an educational environment that is nonspecific as to time and place. To provide educational services for an undergraduate second-year electiv...

Knowledge awareness (KA) has been proposed for increasing collaboration opportunities in an open ended and collaborative learning environment. KA consists of information about up-to-minute activities of other learners. For instance, it indicates when someone is looking at the same knowledge that learners are looking at. Multiple collaboration is concurrently realized through KA. This paper desc...

The purpose of this study is to construct a web-based learning platform of Computer Support for Collaborative Design (CSCD) based on theories related to a constructivist learning environment model, mind mapping and computer-supported collaborative learning. The platform conforms to the needs of design students and provides effective tools for interaction and collaborative learning by integratin...

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review, a novel pedagogical approach, and plans for developing and testing a collaborative learning environment built upon the capacity of new simulation technologies and augmented reality (AR) for improving sustainable and resilient building design. The project aims at integrating collaborative learning strategies with new simulation technologies ...

The use of new technology must be combined with modern teaching practices to be effective. Collaborative learning is a general term employed for a variety of classroom practices designed to foster shared responsibility for a course. The teaching/learning process of software/database modeling subject areas can be greatly improved through the application of collaborative learning, but there are s...

The purpose of this study is to support the learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, we examine the GRID technology as the knowledge management for supporting “collaborative learning” / “collaboration in learning” (CL). RAPSODY-EX (REX) is a distributed learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. REX can effectively carry out to support collabora...
