Thailand Information and Communications Technology Policy Framework 2011-2020 (ICT2020), according to that vision, “Information

and communications technology is a major driving force in bringing people to Thailand's knowledge and wisdom economy. Thailand path to sustainable growth and social equality”.

The strategy of the Ministry of Education, which is assigned to support teaching and learning through the use of information and communications technology to enhance the country education.

Introduction

(Ministry of Information and Communication Technology of Thailand, 2012) (Ministry of Education, 2012) (National Economic and Social Development Board, 2011) (Pima, Odetayo, Iqbal and Sedoyeka, 2016)

Collaborative Learning is a learning environment focusing on learning by learning together in small groups. Students rely on and have a responsibility to group together. A key goal of the study is to exchange learning and share learning resources to interact for joint success.

The social cloud is a framework for sharing resources by sharing resources, or services associated with relationships among individuals and determine access to social networks.

Multiuser interactive learning

processes

Results (cont.)

1. The engagement phase: teacher introduce objectives, students register to the systems, grouping, teacher guide the processes, students learn trial the systems and teacher assign the problem to students

2. The exploration phase: group members divide workload into smaller tasks, identify each task according to the skills and abilities of each members, define the timing and method of working together

Result (cont.)

Multiuser interactive learning processes

3. The transformation phase: the program has been collaborated programming together until the completion of the task, test the result of program until success

4. The presentation phase: each group presents the program together through social cloud, summarize the results on social cloud, evaluate of the collaboration working in the system.

5. The reflection phase: teacher and student groups came together to discuss the work and the work of each group together, summarize the learning activities and lessons together.
