Topic 3: Learning in Communities: An Experience with Collaborative Learning

Posted on November 19, 2019 by M Kamala Devi

Collaborative learning (CL) as an educational approach to teaching and learning, is not a new concept.

Reflections on topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Per Sandén

I have been struggling to finding the difference between online collaborative learning and on campus collaborative learning. Is there a difference? What is the difference? Brindley et al. (2009) examined the influence of grading on the participation in group work in an online course, without finding any effect. Instead they concluded that there are severalContinue reading “Collaborative learning online or offline?”

This got me thinking……

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Patrik Holm

When thinking back on my years in different levels of education there’s always been an obvious preconception from teachers that everyone knows how to collaborate to solve a group task.
