COLLABORATIVE LEARNING & LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The development of collaborative studies in learning has led to a renewed interest in the field of web-based education. This book describes the development of a highly interactive and collaborative virtual teaching environment by supporting the Moodle together with two types of collaborative learning tools to create a virtual learning environment to teach programming languages. The main aim of this book was to find out the effectiveness of an ACLT during the teaching of programming languages in a web-based environment. The NEU-VLE system has been developed for this purpose. The important results of this book are that students using the ACLT have shown the highest statistically significant success rates, and the results of the experimental book ave shown that an LMS can be made more efficient if it is enhanced by an ACLT. In addition, students’ opinions were the highest when using an ACLT in teaching programming languages in a web-based environment. The results of this book add empirical data to the relevant field, and are expected to help educational technologist, online administrators, instructional and technical support staff, and software tool developers.
