Abstract
Cooperative learning links students together to help them attain their learning objective under the guidance of teachers. With the spread of the Internet, cooperative learning has attracted educational technology interest, and research is proceeding into the use of bulletin boards, teleconferencing and chat rooms, etc., to support cooperative learning systems. However, cooperative learning systems tend to be used independently of distance learning, and very little work is being done on cooperative learning methods that include distant lectures. We believed that if remote lectures could be included in cooperative learning by students, the effectiveness of this cooperative learning could be improved. The article proposes a methodology for incorporating distant lectures in cooperative learning and provides an experimental evaluation. To evaluate this method we created a cooperative learning prototype and performed evaluations within our department.
