Abstract :
The Web-based technology for supported collaborative learning may enrich learning performance, such as individual knowledge construction or group knowledge sharing. The present study is to investigate learners´ attitude toward collaborative e-learning environments. Considerations of building a collaborative e-learning environment are first discussed, followed by research design. Furthermore, this study investigates learners´ attitudes toward the environment. The results of statistical analysis show that five attitude factors should be examined at the same time when building a collaborative e-learning environment
