Development of Communication Tool for Informal Learning in Small Groups

Abstract

Communication tools based on the Web, such as “Twitter” and “Facebook” have not only recently been methods of simple communication but also of managing and sharing information, or what is called “informal learning”. We developed an asynchronous communication tool in this research, which means that we can access it at any time and from anywhere. This communication tool can also be used by small groups, such as those in research laboratories and class rooms, who can manage and share the information interactively.
