ABSTRACT
The present age is about information
technology. In order to build technical human power, the higher secondary
education board of Cross River State has launched a new course named
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as compulsory subject for
intermediate college students in the traditional way. Statistic has shown that
there are many lacking in the traditional system to teach ICT course. Lacking
of proper amount of ICT based and qualified teacher is one of them. This paper
examines the inadequacies involved with traditional system of learning the ICT
course and proposes a solution by developing a technology enhanced web based
collaborative learning (WBCL) model named “ICT Course Helper (ICH)” that will
increase the ICT based knowledge of learners. Finally, the model is implemented
and surveyed. The survey result indicates that the proposed and developed
system may give better result than conventional learning procedure of ICT
course to the student.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Web based learning offers many
benefits over traditional learning environments and has becoming very popular.
The web is a powerful environment for distributing information and delivering
knowledge to an increasingly wide and diverse audience. Students who study a
course on the Internet tend to be more heterogeneously distributed than those
found in a traditional classroom situation [2]. Web-based learning (WBL) as an
increasing acceptable learning environment offers many possibilities, such as
approaching new groups of students [3], the freedom of choosing the time to
learn anywhere, anytime and the way students prefer, and collaborative learning
environment. The internet is more than technology and medium, and it is a Web
of social relations imaginatively constructed by symbolic processes initiated
and sustained by individual and groups [4]. In our application college students
will get all the solution of problems together in many formats such as text,
ppt, image and video. The video is appropriate to minimize the need of
computers in college. In this site only the ICT course related topics will
discuss for redundancy of irrelevant data. Online learning adaptation of
college students directly affects the students' effectiveness of online
learning [5]. On the other hand Web-based collaborative learning environment is
developed with information technology and collaborative education method, and
web-based collaborative learning is one of the many student-centered approaches
that aim to promote education achievement, and to foster interpersonal
communication and cooperation [6]. To address the issue of QA and online
teaching and learning we are looking at a two phase process, the first of which
is the development of an initial audit tool examining online technical aspects
followed by the collaborative development of a peer review process centered on
pedagogical issues[7].Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) systems in language
teaching and learning refers to the net based computer systems which offers
opportunities for group communication such as Newsgroups, E-mail conferencing,
Internet Relay Chat, Bulletin Board System and Virtual Classrooms through which
collaborative activities such as discussions, debates, games/simulations,
role-plays, case studies, etc. can be performed[8]. The understanding power is
not same to of all students. Peer to peer interactions facilitate knowledge sharing
[9]. Through the collaborative learning process students as well as teachers
can share his/her idea, thinking or problems to with his/her peer.
Collaborative learning has been proved to improve students’ skills in learning
and enhance their satisfaction with learning. Several studies investigating
college-level learning found that students who follow in-class collaborative
learning procedures and actively interact with each other are more satisfied
with their learning experience and evaluate their courses more favorably than
students who are exposed to the traditional lecture method [8]. A collaborative
work has less chance of error and has greater visibility [10]. Web-based
learning systems are increasingly popular due to their appeal over traditional
paper-based textbooks. Web courseware is easily accessible and offers greater
flexibility, that is, students can control their own pace of study. Unlike
printed textbooks, Web-based tutoring systems can incorporate multi-media such
as audio and video to make a point [11]. The web-based collaborative learning
model consists of five parts: Collaborative learning strategy, user information
Library, student interface, teacher interface, and administration or expert
team.
