Abstract

Through the use of the Blackboard Learning System (v. 6) an online collaboration course was set up to foster critical thinking via collaborative learning among students from two different universities. The course design using the Blackboard Learning System focused primarily on the use of the discussion boards to generate two-way communication among students and faculty. Evaluation instruments for both the learning outcomes and the learning process were developed for use.
