I have initiated this study with an emphasis on student-teacher collaboration in creating a pool of JAVA resources. Each resource will be associated with a super set of descriptive labels (tags) created by the whole group. Three research questions guided the design, implementation and analysis of this work:
Do students and teachers share a common perception of the purpose, level of difficulty, complexity and usefulness of each resource?
To what extent can tags effectively and properly represent each resource, as perceived by this newly formed online community?
Is there a gap (difference) between student tags and teacher tags? If so, to what extent can we bridge this gap (in the future) by using a union of tags, thus assisting students in the information search and retrieval process?
