Group work collaboration in learning, such as carrying out group assignments or group projects, is a common practice in education. It can help group members to delegate tasks, develop communication skills and manage time. However, managing working in groups can be challenging as it is hard to keep track of the team member’s work progress, difficult to manage the given group tasks and tend to forget the assignment or project due dates. Thus, a new method is necessary to help students to manage and coordinate group work collaboration better. This study proposed a web-based application system with work progress, group task management and email notification features. The application was developed using the Waterfall methodology that consists of requirement gathering, analysis, design, implementation and testing. The implementation used Xampp, Php, Sublime Text and Yii2 framework. Based on the five times of functional tests conducted, the system managed to achieve the study’s objectives. In conclusion, the web-based system helps students in managing work group tasks when doing collaboration work. Future work for the application includes developing mobile platforms and uploading completed tasks or files to prove the work’s progress.
