There are few Computer-supported Cooperative Work activities that can applied in this institution's learning environment. These activities can help to facilitate communication among participants.
One of the common activities is Online Learning System. Students are able to learn the lectures through Internet without going to colleges or schools. This can help those students who are not convenience to travel along. Besides, assignments can be given and pass-up through internet services, such as Web pages and email. Discussions among lectures and students can be applied through Online Learning System also. Lecturers can communicate with students through forum to discuss about examination questions, assignments, tutorials, and the others. Another example is lecturers may post the students' assessments to the blog or Web sites. As a result, students can also refer their classmates' works.
Besides this, Instant Messaging can be applied in this institution's learning environment too. Students can communicate through Instant Messaging, like Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger. Through this we can set up a sharing folder with a friend. Drop in files and other stuff, as many as our computer can handleIt's build relationship between each other even one of us are from over sea. When we having group assignment, none of us are staying close! Through messenger all of us can just sit at our house ,looking at the screen and giving idea. It's safe time and money(to travel). If one of us can't online on time , by using share file, even it's offline ,we still can just copy it out from there.
Interactive Learning is also one of the CSCW activities that can be applied in this institution's learning environment. Software demonstration is using in Interactive Learning. Foe example, lecturers may use LCD projector to show the notes or guidelines for the students. By using this, lecturers may save their time rather than teach or guide the students one by one. The students are easier to understand the syllabus.
