Abstract :
In order to address such problems as "random grouping" and "low consistency" when our students are conducting their series course projects of software engineering, "stability factor" was put forward to evaluate the stability of a group and to assess the collaboration efficiency of the members in it. A Web-based MIS also was developed to help teachers do real-time supervision during the course projects. When complying with this framework, the quality of practical teaching can be assured, learning outcome will be enhanced, and the scientific encouraging policy will make a positive influence upon cultivating studentspsila team-working capability as well as their collaboration consciousness.
