Constructive learning environment with the implementation of cooperative learning strategy provides active learning experience to students and at the same time learning the subject. The learning structure based on group investigation along with the support of learning management system (LMS) that aims to improve the effectiveness of learning and communications and collaborative skills enhancement. The implementations of online learning are enhanced with guidance from the principles of online learning.
