The third topic centered around how to get people to really recognize the value of becoming part of a learning community and collaborate with their peers.
The concept of collaborative learning is very new to me.I used to live and learn in a one-way broadcast environment. In a classroom with a strict rule (traditional style) forbidden talking to others during the whole session and no one could share. Taking this online course helps me understand a true collaborative learning environment. It is in such an environment that the success of one person depends on the success of the group. Not only does it facilitate learning but also encourages learners to interact with each other and share their thoughts, ideas and knowledge. The most challenging factor in this type of learning is how learners are encouraged to interact with their classmates.
I dream that all of my colleagues and our higher education institutions are aware of this concept
