Web Application Construction by Group Work and Practice

摘要

In recent years, it is important that information technology (IT) students have the experience of developing software development in a group similar to that of large-scale software development. Many students are not only weak in communication, but also are not good at cooperation and collaboration when designing a program. Therefore, we had IT students practice group work in a seminar course and analyzed its effects and problems. Generally, students are good at the acquisition of knowledge that is constant in distance learning, but find that it is difficult to finish a program by oneself. In distance learning, it is very important to employ mutual teaching and regular communication between students. When there is active discussion, cooperation, and differing opinions among students, new software ideas can more effectively take shape. On the other hand, group collaboration can also limit the freedom of a student's expression of individual ideas. We report that it was very important to effectively balance student collaboration with the individual's freedom to make their own decisions.
