Abstract
Almost all undergraduates in Taiwan’s universities and vocational schools have to take compulsory computing courses before they graduate. However, the teaching in computing courses commonly adopts traditional lectures with inappropriate examples. The author thus redesigned the web-mediated teaching methods based his reflection. This study involved 64 undergraduates received the interventions of web-mediated Self-regulated Learning (SRL) and Collaborative Learning (CL). The results of this study show that students had a better experience of course learning and more positive attitudes toward the interventions of web-mediated SRL and CL. Implications for teachers and schools are also provided in this study.
