Abstract

As educators and teachers pay more attention to the applications of educational technologies and websites to help students achieve satisfactory learning outcomes, it is necessary to develop effective teaching methods integrated with technologies for both teachers and students. This study involved 96 undergraduates from two class sections in an experiment wherein the first class received the interventions of web-mediated Self-regulated Learning SRL and Collaborative Learning CL Case 1, while the second one served as the control group Case 2. The results of this study show that Case 1 students had a better experience of course learning and more positive attitudes toward the interventions of web-mediated SRL and CL than those in Case 2. In addition, Case 1 students' involvement in learning in the web-mediated learning environments 5.0002 was also higher than those in Case 2 4.7813, though insignificantly. Implications for teachers and schools are also provided in this paper.
