Collaborative learning is a process by which students interact in dyads or small groups of no more than six members with intent to solicit and respect the abilities and contributions of individual members. Typically, authority and responsibility are shared for group actions and outcomes.
Collaborative Learning Theory makes a great foundation for your high-level L&D structure, but you’ll need to dig into its methodologies to put it into practice. Many of these concepts work well in online learning —an increasingly vital tool in L&D.
Abstract. This chapter reviews the literature concerning the key aspects of CL. It opens with a review of the relevant learning theories and the conceptual framework on which this study is based so that the foundations of CL can be understood.
Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves two or more people who learn while working together on a joint task in order to achieve a common goal (e.g., to solve a problem or to design a product) (Dillenbourg 1999a).
