Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to synthesize and evaluate a model of collaborative learning with virtual team on cloud technology to enhance collaboration skills of undergraduate students, 2) to develop collaborative learning management system with virtual team on cloud technology, and 3) to study the effect of using the developed learning management system. The research processes were divided into three phases as follows: Phase 1) synthesis and evaluation of the learning model, Phase 2) development of the learning management system, and Phase 3) examination of the effects of the developed learning management system. The research instruments were a learning plan, an achievement test, an collaborative skills assessment form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics that used in research were the mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The findings revealed that 1) the evaluation of the synthesized model was at the highest level (=4.64, S.D.=0.53), that 2) the quality assessment of the developed system in terms of its content (
=4.51, S.D.=0.56) and technical methods (
=4.59, S.D.=0.52) was at the highest level, and that 3) the achievement of students after learning with the developed system was higher than before learning at the .05 level of significance. The collaboration skills of learning with the developed system were found to be at the highest level (
=4.52, S.D.=0.51) and students were satisfied with the developed system at the highest level (
=4.57, S.D.=0.61).
