Abstract—This paper presents a study that sought to look at
the use of web technologies in supporting collaboration among
undergraduate students working in groups to solve problems.
The learning environment was designed to be authentic,
centering on a problem-based group project and incorporated
web technologies. Student attitude and perceptions were
gathered through the use of a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire,
open ended questions and interviews. The results indicate that
students responded positively towards this learning
environment and support the incorporation of web technologies
to create conducive learning environments that facilitate
collaborative problem-solving.
Index Terms—Authentic learning environments,
problem-solving, web technologies.
