Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 97 === The main concept of collaborative learning is the interaction between learners and sharing of knowledge. However, although the existing tools can assist people to learning by collaboration, the high requirement standards of hardware, software, and internet broadband are necessarily for achieving the interaction through these tools to facilitate the collaborative learning. Besides, each function has to install independently, it still cannot be afford by general learners. To guide learning process and directions by learners themselves and to achieve the collaborative learning are the focus of e-Learning 2.0. The most useful mechanisms to practice the concept of e-Learning 2.0 are through Blog and Wiki which are related to Web2.0 services. Nevertheless, these mechanisms are still dispersed, learners cannot use these services to learn efficiently.
Hence, the study propose a Rich Internet Collaborative Learning Management System (RICLMS) which conform to the construct of e-Learning 2.0 and develop by Rich Internet Application (RIA) . The system is learner-centered and learner-guided. It also provides diverse collaborative learning environment and multi-media interactive interface which is easily used, remembered, and learned. The technology of RIA could integrate the tools of collaborative learning in effective way. Learners can access the single portal to utilize not only the interaction mechanism such as conferencing meeting and electronic board but also the Web2.0 services of Blog and Wiki. The only equipments which users need to prepare for learning are camera, earphones, and internet. It hopes that can eliminate the difficulties of implementing collaborative learning, raise the efficiency of learning through e-Learning 2.0 conceptions, and experience the learning process.
