Abstract

This paper investigates two aspects of the growing trend towards collaborative learning (CL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) in higher education by examining students’ computing skills in a blended learning environment. The author redesigned a course and adopted web-enhanced CL and SRL to develop undergraduates’ computing skills of web page programming and website building. Three classes with 170 students in a one-semester course were chosen for the empirical study. The results in this study show that students who received web-enhanced CL and SRL had higher grades than those who did not receive web-enhanced CL and/or SRL. It can provide references for schools and teachers who plan to provide online or blended courses for their students to achieve better learning effects in web-based learning environments.
