| description | This paper focuses on studying the students’ collaborative processes within a web-based learning
environment. A constructivist web-based learning environment was designed using Jonassen’s
(1999) CLE model, and centered around a multimedia group project and the use of web 2.0 tools.
The project was undertaken by students at INTI International University, Malaysia, and worked in
a project group of 4 members. This study assesses students’ perception, attitude change, language
acts through the use of several data collection instruments, including questionnaires, open-ended
questions, interview, and students’ interaction records in web-based applications. Factor analysis
was performed on quantitative data, whereas the framework of CMCL was used to investigate the
qualitative data to identify the collaboration and communication through their communicative acts
during project development process. Results showed that group collaboration provided peer
support, increased their motivation and satisfaction, and more communication and interaction
were stimulated in the learning process. |
