This study developed a student-centered group-based learning system. The system requirements were gathered from relevant literature on pedagogy and WebRTC. The study identified social loafing as a major drawback of most student-centered learning groups. The system was designed using block, architectural pattern, flow-chart, use-case, sequence, class and architectural-context diagrams and the system’s application logic was implemented using ASP.NET C#; HTML, JAVASCRIPT and BOOTSTRAP for the front-end and SQL for the database, HangFire and SignalR for the reminder and texting system. SendGrid API for reminders and OpenVidu Media server for video and audio-calling. The system has been tested and proven to be effective in providing different forms of communication and structure to group-learning that reduces social loafing, and can be recommended for tertiary institutions who want to promote a better student-student relationship for improved learning.
