Conventional collaborative learning is bound to time and place factor. Hence, the ThermoCollaborate website was developed to enable learning Thermochemistry over the time and place factors.

The website was developed with the use of the technology of Adobe Dreamweaver 8 and MySQL databases. The design model being implemented is the Hanafinn and Peck Model.
