Collaborative Learning Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves. It is through the talk that learning occurs. http://www.gdrc.org/kmgmt/c-learn/what-is-cl.html Evidence that Collaborative Learning supports critical thinking

The Affordances of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning • Text-based and Computer-Mediated Interaction (Intersection between Interaction and reflection) • Many-to-many Communication • Time and Place Independence • Long Distance Exchange • Hypermedia Links
