I  am currently taking a comps. I have read my books and articels about the small grouop collaborative learning.  Today, I read instructors’ role and tools. I am thinking about providinge a tool to my research participants in my dissertation. but I do not know if they can use the tool. So, I almost decide a courseware system that an instructor provides.  Do you think WebCT or blackboard is a collaborative tool?

I am a Ph.D student in Instructional Technology at the University of Georgia. I would like to conduct extensive research on how the educational system can improved, how learning tools can be developed, how the learning experience of the learner can be enhanced by using new technology in the educational environment. I am also interested group work in the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Evnivironments.
