To help students solve exercise problems, we introduced face-to-face group discussion during which each group member explains his or her own solution, and then all members explore a solution as a group. Improved motivation levels, and other beneficial effects, were observed in participants following their completion of discussion exercises. In this research, we developed a face-to-face group discussion support system (GDS), which cooperates with LMS of the university. GDS has functions of management of exercise problems and users, automated group generation, management of start and end time of group discussions, viewing the worksheet and entering feedback and so on. The results of the system's in-class trial suggested that it had several benefits.
