Abstract
Students thrive in a variety of collaborative learning environments. Furthermore, research has shown student study groups are especially effective methods to promote learning. Our research project developed an artificially intelligent, Internet-based system that aids in formation of study groups outside the classroom setting. The system utilized a HTML/PHP/ CSS web interface with a MySQL database backend for the system design. Analysis of student feedback following system demonstration revealed significant support on viability and potential usage. A formal study will be conducted during the fall 2009 semester at Grand Valley State University and analysis of results will follow.
