Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to support learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, the authors examine knowledge management and the presentation of information for collaborative learning support. RAPSODY-EX (Remote and Adaptive Educational Environment: A Dynamic Communicative System for Collaborative Learning) is a remote learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. RAPSODY-EX can effectively carry out collaborative learning support in asynchronous and synchronous learning modes. Remote learning is a learning style in which both individual and collaborative learning are carried out via a multimedia communication network. In the remote learning environment, the arrangement and integration of information are designed to support the decision making of learners and mediators. The aim of the project is to construct a continuously growing digital portfolio database. In addition, the architecture required for the learning environment which includes such a database is examined.
