Development of Web Collaborative Learning Application Model through Borderless Classroom to Enhance Information and Communication Technology Literacy for Higher Education Students

Abstract

            The objectives of research and development are as follows: 1) To study web collaborative learning application model through borderless classroom to enhance information and communication technology literacy for higher education students;          2) To develop web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom;     3) To study result of using web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom, and 4) To evaluate students' satisfaction with web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom. The sample was 31 third-year students who enrolled in the innovation and information technology course in the first semester of 2017 academic year in Faculty of Education at Phuket Rajabhat University. They were randomized by multi-stage sampling. The research tools were 1) web collaborative learning application model through borderless classroom; 2) achievement test, 3) information and communication technology literacy evaluation form, and 4) questionnaire to evaluate students’ satisfaction toward web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation and t-test.

            This research results indicate that 1) web collaborative learning application model through borderless classroom has three main components; input, process and output; 2) experts have evaluated the quality of web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom at very good level (  = 4.17); 3) the students’ learning achievement test score after learning web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom are higher than pre-test score at .05 level of significance. Moreover, the instructors have evaluated students’ ICT literacy at the highest level (  = 4.56) while students have evaluated their ICT literacy at high level (  = 4.43). And 4) students’ satisfaction toward web collaborative learning application through borderless classroom are at the highest level (  = 4.55).
