| Summary: | The rapid progression of ICT has influenced the social change and broadened the horizon of innovative
learning which further enabled the web-based collaborative learning. Studies show that the use of web-based
social tools is able to expand the social interaction and engagement among the students. In fact, many learning
approaches in today’s higher education context have embedded collaborative learning activities. Therefore,
it is important to investigate the student communicative acts and social interaction in the online
communication process for sustaining and better supporting web-based collaborative learning. This study
presents students’ feedback and their communicative acts in the process of collaborating on a multimedia
project. Communicative Model of Collaborative Learning (CMCL) was used to analyze these inputs which
obtained from open-ended questions, student interviews and students’ posting in social networking sites. The
results showed that the CMCL was a useful tool for assessing the students’ social interaction and
communicative acts in this learning approach. The outcomes of this study show that the use of CMCL is
effective to analyze the student communication and interaction in web-based collaborative learning
environments with more perspectives and reveal the impacts on student learning experience and attitudes. |
