Learning Performances Assessment Models For Online Collaborative Learning Systems

As the quest for collaborative e-learning continues to grow due to increase in the number of students enrolling in various academic programmes in our higher institutions, learning performances models for collaborative online learning environment that provide equal and credible assessment opportunities for all categories of learners in web-based learning environment have therefore become inevitable. Our mathematical models are developed with features for measuring level of class participation among students and instructors in online sessions of a course, their performances in collaborative studies; tests, assignment, polls and final examination in a web-based learning environment. Objects used in developing the models include Instructor (I-k), course (COk), student (S-j), Assessment (A(z,k)) and learning performance (P-k,P-j).
