A web-based learning system using project-based learning and Imagineering

Abstract

A web-based learning system using project-based learning and Imagineering relies on the online operation, which can be operated on all kinds of computers and mobile devices. The objectives of the development of this web-based learning system are to encourage the freedom of self-learning, to promote interaction and cooperation based on the concepts and theories of project- based learning and Imagineering learning, and to create instructional activities based on the new concepts corresponding to characteristic development of learners in the 21st century, which enables the learners to have creativity and ability to generate new innovation. Regarding the architecture design, the researcher employed the concepts of mixed learning process, which is the combination of project-based learning and Imagineering learning, in order to support the instructional process within the system. Also, the researcher relied on the flexible instructional activities and instructional management system so that the learners could acquire the efficient learning from the system. Moreover, there was a variety of communication devices to support and promote the collaboration and activities within the system. The results of this research can be summarized as follow: (1) The system architecture consists of three main elements, i.e. 1.1) Stakeholders; 1.2) System Components, i.e. Learning process, Activity, System Element, and Communication Tools; and 1.3) Database; (2) Learning process within the system consists of six steps, corresponding to the Imagineering learning, i.e. 1) Imagine 2) Design 3) Develop 4) Present 5) Improvement and 6) Evaluate; and (3) The web-based learning system, can be divided into two systems: 1) Student system; and 2) Lecturer system and administrator system.
