The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mobile learning over the critical thinking skills. The volunteer sample in this experimental study consisted of 41 undergraduates enrolled in computer education classes at the Near East University in North Cyprus. The students’ critical thinking disposition was measured by California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory Scale (CCTDI). Also, the usefulness of mobile learning systems (UMLS), a questionnaire adapted by Motiwalla (2007), was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques; arithmetic mean and standard deviation. Overall, students’ attitudes toward the usefulness of a mobile learning system improved significantly at the end of the experimental study. It was found that after the study the students’ creativity improved significantly. Furthermore, researchers found that outdoor experiences influenced students’ attitudes positively. Additionally, results indicate that in this study, working collaboratively and sharing information were built into a group activity

The development of collaborative studies in learning has led to a renewed interest in the field of Web-based education. In this experimental study a highly interactive and collaborative virtual teaching environment has been created by supporting Moodle LMS with collaborative learning tool GREWPtool. The aim of this experimental study has been to find out the success rate of students when using an advanced and a standard collaborative tool in teaching programming languages over the Internet. The system has been tested with a total of 58 students whose aim was to learn the programming language Java. Success rate of students have been measured using two different assessments. Our results show a higher success rate when an LMS system is combined with an advanced collaborative tool during the teaching of programming languages in a Web-based environment.
