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.
