Programming Language Teamwork Learning Tool

Abstract

With the development of computer science and information technology (IT), it is more and more common to make the use of computer and internet to support the activity of studying, there have already become one of the hot topics of e-learning in recent years. Collaborative learning includes the activities of interaction between learners, learners share the information and knowledge each other, and cooperate in finishing some tasks. The main purpose of collaborative learning allows users can participate positively in the course of study, share useful knowledge each other in the classroom, and then obtain more valuable knowledge from classmates, make the learner studying more and more effective. The combination of collaborative learning and information technology is commonly called “Computer Supported Collaborative Learning” (CSCL), and that is currently having many attention. So, we develop a tool of collaborative learning in this research, utilize the structure of server / client, and combine the functions of text and voice communication via the environment of the internet, it will allow user cooperated in finishing some special projects of C programming language together, and solve the problems during the process of programming together. The learners can studied in the course of group collaborative learning. Besides share their own knowledge each other, they can study some new knowledge immediately too, and acquire some experience in programming. Furthermore, they can gain the ability of solving problems. The purpose of our research is making students to improve the motivation in study C programming language, and participate actively to attain knowledge and experience of programming.
