McGill, T. J.; Hobbs, V. J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are widespread in higher education today, typically used to deliver instructional materials and facilitate communication within a course. This study aimed to investigate the task-technology fit of VLEs for their two main groups of users: instructors and students, using the VLE WebCT. Task-technology fit, user…

Using a Wiki to Evaluate Individual Contribution to a Collaborative Learning Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Trentin, G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
One critical issue arising in the educational use of collaborative learning concerns the teacher's difficulty in evaluating the contribution and participation of each student in group-work. This article aims to illustrate and discuss a methodology that enables evaluation of the collaborative learning process based on co-writing in a wiki…
