1.A Fundamental Study on Evaluation of Environment for Collaborative LearningWe highlighted the significance of emergent division of labor in collaborative learning in terms of social constructivism. In order to promote collaborative learning, we applied peer assessment for their reflection, and developed a method for evaluating impacts of collaborative environment on students' learning.2.A Portable Peer Assessment System for Situated AssessmentWe developed a portable peer assessment system, with which learners can input other's assessment in situ and the summary of the assessment can instantly be feed backed graphically. They can also reflect with the results after the class and compare their results with others'.3.A Web Groupware for Asynchronous Peer EvaluationIn the context of peer evaluation, it is hard to demand objectivity of evaluation to all students, however reliability and fairness is still required. In order to fulfill this requirement, we developed and evaluated a web-based groupware system for asynchronous peer evaluation, which has functions for equation.4.A Peer Assessment System for Internet Discussion Board ; Visualizing Discussion Processes and StatesWe developed and evaluated i-Bee, which is a part of e-Learning system for supporting discussion by visualizing the process and states of internet discussion board graphically so that students are more involved in the discussion.5.A Groupware for Project Based Learning (PBL)In order to support project based learning, we have developed and evaluated ProBo and ProBoPortable ; ProBo is a web-based groupware which manage and share the information of states of progress, to-do tasks, task sharing, and files ; ProBoPortable is a accompanying software of ProBo, which shows summarized information of states of project in ProBo in the form of animation on the standby screen of a mobile phone.
