The goal of this study is to establish an extensible learning support environment which can integrate various kinds of learning styles including self-paced learning and group learning. The environment is designed to provide both function extensibility and content reusability. To fulfill this goal, we introduced the concept of a "courseware object", which is a program module used to incrementally implement various educational functionalities. To implemented group learning environment, we designed some courseware objects to support group learning functions. Implementation of two typical group learning methods, the jigsaw method and student problem generation, has been investigated with these courseware objects. As the result of these investigations and prototype implementation, it is shown that the practical group learning environment can be implemented using developed courseware objects equipped with various learning scenario.
