ABSTRACT:Collaboration generally leads to better learning outcomes than individual work, and efficient communication is of essential importance to collaborative learning environments. Adobe's Flash Media Server (FMS) together with its Flash provides an efficient a platform for developing collaborative learning environments. Using FMS, we have designed and developed a collaborative learning environment targeted for students' selfteaching of hydraulic experiments. The collaborative learning environment consists of multi-user collaboration supporting courseware modules called as virtual hydraulic circuits/equipments. In this paper, the Modeler-ViewController (MVC) architecture designed for the collaborative courseware modules was provided, and key steps of developing such modules using FMS were described. The effect of the courseware modules in helping students in making preparations for actual experiments was examined, and students' attitudes toward the modules were surveyed and analyzed. Results showed that collaborative courseware modules can lead to better learning outcome, and efficient communication especially audio communication is more preferred by the tested students.

ABSTRACT:Web is entering a new phase -HTML5. New features of HTML5 should be studied for online spatio-temporal data visualization. In the proposed framework, spatio-temporal data is stored in the data server and is sent to user browsers with WebSocket. Public geodata such as Internet digital map is integrated into the browsers. Then animation is implemented through the canvas object defined by the HTML5 specification. To simulate the spatio-temporal data source, we collected the daily location of 15 users with GPS tracker. The current positions of the users are collected every minute and are recorded in a file. Based on this file, we generate a real time spatio-temporal data source which sends out current user location every second.By enlarging the real time scales by 60 times, we can observe the movement clearly. The data transmitted with WebSocket is the coordinates of users' current positions, which will can be demonstrated in client browsers.
