In this paper we report on the use of a purpose built Computer Support Collaborative learning environment designed to support lab-based CAD teaching through the monitoring of student participation and identified predictors of success. This was carried out by analysing data from the interactive learning system and correlating student behaviour with…

Three treatments were conducted with 57 computer-assisted design students: students worked individually as instructors presented new commands, a second group worked cooperatively, and a third combined individual and cooperative approaches. No significant differences were found in achievement or attitudes. Cooperative learning may enable more…

Students' reactions and performances were examined when taught engineering geometry concepts using a standard microcomputer-aided drafting software package. Two sample groups were compared based on their computer experience. Included are the methodology, data analysis, and conclusions. (KR)
