Abstract

Collaborative E-Learning (CEL) is one of modern learning methods, which is widely used in the 21st century. The learners can learn on demand, independently, and outside the classroom without time and place barrier. Information Technology provides the learners for this matter. They can create new knowledge together, which is a way of supporting life-long learning. In order to gain the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of collaborative e-Learning, this research addresses the Learning Outcomes (LOs) for undergraduate level defined by Thailand Qualification Framework (TQF). The general education course entitled Information Technology for Life conducted by the Phetchabun Rajabhat University is used as a case study. This research addresses the collaborative e-Learning that can support both generic and specific TQF’s learning outcomes. The LOs’ measurement and evaluation is collected by using e-Participation, e-Examination and e-Assignment. This data is then analyzed by using mathematical method. The result of this work shows TQF’s LOs at the students’ group and individual levels by using information technology for the future improvement.
