Abstract

The authors developed a CSCL environment to utilize “Six Thinking Hats”. This environment is an extension of online discussion room, and extended to assign “hat” to each learner, facilitate to think based on his “hat”,and visualize which hat is on. With use of this environment, an instructor is ableto introduce, facilitate, and train students “Six Thinking Hats” method in onlinelearning environment with less instruction workload compared with face-to-face learning environment. The authors also evaluated the proposingenvironment, and found significant difference of number and quality of ideasfor given problems between “Six Thinking Hats” environment and simple online discussion environment.
