 COLLABORATIVE LEARNING |
| An umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers. Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments in which learners engage in a common task in which each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. Groups of students work together in searching for understanding, meaning or solutions or in creating an artifact of their learning. Also, within the context of electronic communication, collaborative learning can take place without members being physically in the same location, using Learning Management Systems. Collaborative learning refers here to a collection of tools which learners can use to assist, or be assisted by others. Such tools include E-learning, chat room, discussion board, and application sharing. [1] |
