Abstract

This paper discusses the development of a Web-based collaborative Social Decision Support System (SDSS) Toolkit, and presents three case studies of its use by students in graduate level courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to assess what they had learned together. The students were asked to collectively pool their interpretations of what they learned and see to what degree they had a consensus on the importance of topics covered in the course. The evaluation process and results are presented in this paper as a case study on how such a toolkit can be used in a collaborative learning environment. In the conclusion, possible enhancements and the future use of the toolkit as a learning tool are discussed.
