An Educational Asynchronous Learning Environment

In this paper we propose an educational asynchronous learning environment which makes students more interactive in learning process. Our system lets students collaborate among them in order to construct their knowledge as much as possible and to find solutions of many problems that occur during learning. In this paper, we focus on question and answer (adaptive evaluation: AE) as a collaboration tool for students based on Web technology, because AE has the characteristics that ensures and checks students´ comprehension of material without any restriction of time and place. In our system students can act as questioners who ask some questions collaboratively to acquire additional knowledge, or act as respondents who answer questions from other students. Using this environment, the interactive learning of students can be achieved, and also the teacher´s load can be decreased.
