Abstract

Learning environment in higher education can be transformed from teacher-centered environment into the
combination of learner, knowledge, and assessment-centered environment. Therefore, students learning
collaboration which can lead into competent community in line with the programs’ goals, can be created.
Teacher-student interaction which is usually conducted in the classroom needs to be managed in order to build
students’ deep learning understanding. Based on the learning interaction among learning resources, teacher
and student, an information system is enginereed. This system is an information system which functions as a
Collaborative Learning (CL) supportin tool for English subject, specifically for English for Business topic.
Research in CL can be viewed from seven perspectives. They are collaborative interaction control, task from CL,
learning theories in collaboration, CL environment engineering, students’ roles, collaboration domain and
learning methodologies that support collaborations (Cs). Among those perspectives, CL environment
engineering becomes the basis in engineering information system which collaborates text, audio, video and
picture as an interaction tool. The specification of this interaction tool is based on the content of each lecture.
The research begins by analysis phase which covers the analysis of the content of lecture and spreading
quesionnaire. The questionnaire is designed to get information on the necessity level of information system and
the description of current learning system. After the information of need specification is obtained, the phase of
information system engineering is conducted. In this phase, the modelling of process, data, menu structure and
user interface is created. Data modelling uses Data Flow Diagram (DFD) which consists three entities:
administrator, English lecturers and students. Data modelling engineered uses Entity Relationship (ER) to relate
data entity and produces 14 tables, whereas menu structure modelling and user interface are created to show
information system design in the implementation-phase-to-be.
