Knowledge-Based Cooperative Learning Platform for Three-Dimensional CAD System

Abstract

Cooperative learning is a social interaction that involving a community of learners and teachers, where members acquire and share experience or knowledge. Recently, researchers have initiated studies that explore which factors are relevant to learner satisfaction or education effectiveness in a cooperative learning environment. However, little research effort for developing a cooperative learning platform for information system training, such as three-dimensional CAD system training. Thus, our study aims to narrow these gaps. We present the cooperative learning platform for 3D CAD system. This approach can be helpful for better establishing cooperative learning for information system training. We introduce a case involving three-dimensional CAD training with the web-based cooperative learning platform in China. This research is specifically related the context of a state-of-the-art cooperative learning platform that is based on network technology for real-time interaction amongst users, instructor, and the cooperative learning system itself.
