dc.description.abstract | The existing approaches to group formation at the School of Computing and Informatics
Technology at Makerere University includes random and self-selected assignments. It has been
observed that these approaches result in an imbalance in group formation and do not necessarily
account for an all-rounded group of students.
The development of a web-based student group management application system for the
students of School of Computing and Informatics Technology was the objective of the study.
The solution was to bridge the gap in group formation and participation, monitoring and
evaluation of students to improve peer support and enhance collaborative learning.
Data was collected from BIST students of year Three. In the designed system mixed ability and
random approach is used when assigning students to groups. The students are grouped based
on soft skills, academic strength as well as peer evaluation to lead to a more balanced group
that is all round using a flexible web system. This brings fundamental activities of group
learning like formation of mixed ability groups randomly, have chatbots for communication,
file sharing features, student profiling, calendaring, scheduling, student or peer reviews for
feedback, and admin portals in one place.
In conclusion, the system is supposed to make group formation easier formation easier for the
students of SCIT as well as benefit them academically as they are blended. | en_US |
