a Summary, etc The development of collaborative studies in learning has led to a renewed interest in the field of web-based education. This study describes the development of a highly interactive and collaborative virtual teaching environment by supporting the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) together with two types of collaborative learning tools (GREWPTool), at Near East University: Standard Collaborative Learning Tool (SCLT) and Advanced Collaborative Learning Tool (ACLT) to create a virtual learning environment to teach programming languages. The main aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness of an ACLT during the teaching of programming languages in a web-based environment. The developed system was tested with a total of 58 students whose aims were to learn the programming language Java. This study was an experimental study, and it was based on the Near East University - Virtual Learning Environment (NEU-VLE) which has been developed as a part of this research study. The NEU-VLE system has been developed to enable students to learn programming languages, and to follow the lessons over the internet, in their own places of study, using their own computers in their own time. The following tools have been used during the data collection: ―Online Learning Opinion Scale‖, ―Scale of Student Opinions about the NEU-VLE System‖, ―Scale of Student Opinions about Collaborative Learning Tools‖, ―Learning Strategies Scale‖, ―Java Programming Language Success Test (Pre-Test and Post-Test)‖. v The collected data were analyzed using independent sample t-test, and one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The important results of this study are that students using the ACLT have shown the highest statistically significant success rates, and the results of the experimental study have shown that an LMS can be made more efficient if it is enhanced by an ACLT. In addition, students‘ opinions were the highest when using an ACLT in teaching programming languages in a web-based environment. The results of this study add empirical data to the relevant field, and are expected to help educational technologist, online administrators, instructional and technical support staff, and software tool developers.
