Abstract
We propose in this paper an educational distance learning support system to provide learning environment in higher education especially it is very important during Covid-19 pandemic. This system provides the collaboration functions among students, in order to make students more active and interactive in learning process based on web technology without any restriction of time and place, and also in order to decrease teachers’ load. In this system students are endorsed to collaborate each other for constructing shared knowledge as much as possible according to their level of knowledge. Students can make discussions or ask some questions collaboratively to acquire more knowledge which cannot be gained through lessons. We describe the concept of this system including its architecture.
Highlights
There are many internet technologies including web which can be used for implementing educational support system, so it becomes possible that learning activities can be performed in distance without any restriction of time and place [1]-[3], especially in emergency condition such as Covid-19 Pandemic e-Learning system plays as critical solution to support learning activities [4]
Collaboration activity plays important role in learning to increase the knowledge [6], and could reduce the teachers load [8], [9]. That in this system, we provide the collaboration tools to motivate students to be more active in learning process by teaching each other about some learning-materials related to their comprehension
Student Model Basically, we use an overlay student model that decides the knowledge level of students to participate in collaboration, so that students can join the collaboration according to their pace of learning
Summary
There are many internet technologies including web which can be used for implementing educational support system, so it becomes possible that learning activities can be performed in distance without any restriction of time and place [1]-[3], especially in emergency condition such as Covid-19 Pandemic e-Learning system plays as critical solution to support learning activities [4]. Collaboration activity plays important role in learning to increase the knowledge [6], and could reduce the teachers load [8], [9] That in this system, we provide the collaboration tools to motivate students to be more active in learning process by teaching each other about some learning-materials related to their comprehension. We propose three asynchronous collaboration tools (discussion, question/answer, and whiteboard) suited for students’ level of knowledge concerning to learning-material. In this system, if a student has a question or interesting theme for discussion, they can collaborate with each other to solve the problem according to their pace of learning [10]-[13].
