This document discusses computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and how it uses instructional methods that encourage students to work together on learning tasks, as opposed to traditional teacher-centered approaches. CSCL is enabled by technologies like blogs, wikis, and cloud-based document sharing, which allow for nonlinear knowledge sharing between students and teachers. Collaborative learning environments provide benefits like developing higher-order thinking skills, but also present challenges for instructors and students in adjusting to more student-centered and group-focused methods.

3. Collaborative Learning
• Computer-supported collaborative
learning (CSCL) uses instructional
methods designed to encourage or
require students to work together
on learning tasks.
• CSCL is similar in concept to the
terminology, “e-learning 2.0” and
“networked collaborative
learning”(NCL)

4. • Collaborative learning is
distinguished from
traditional approaches to
instruction in which
teachers are the primary
source of knowledge and
skills.

5. • For example, the new "e-learning
1.0" refers to the direct transfer
method in learning and computer-
based training (CAL). In contrast
to the linear transmission of
content, often directly from the
instructor, CSCL using blogs,
wikis, and cloud-based document
portal (such as Google Docs and
Dropbox).

6. • One example is MathChat,
which allows problem-solving
and cooperative response to
feedback (MathChat, 2015).
Some applications may also
provide an opportunity to
revise or learn new topics
independently in a classroom
simulation.

7. • It has the advantage of
combining learning styles as the
app offers more videos for
visual and auditory learners, as
well as training and tasks to
complete for kinesthetic
learners. Other applications
designed after the game,
providing a fun way to check.
When the experience is fun the
students become more involved.

8. • Classroom 2.0 refers to various online
user virtual environments (mauves)
connecting schools in geographic
boundaries. Known as "eTwinning",
computer-supported collaborative
learning (CSCL) allow students in the
school to communicate with students in
another that they would not get to know
otherwise (Scuola-digitale.it., 2013), to
improve educational outcomes and
cultural integration. Examples of classes
application is 2,0 Blogger and Skype
(Pumila, 2012).

9. • E-learning 2.0 is a kind of
collaborative learning (CSCL),
which supported the computer
system developed by the
emergence of Web 2.0 (Karrer,
2007). From the perspective 2.0
e-learning, e-learning system is
based on conventional teaching
package, which is delivered to
students using assignments.

10. • In addition to virtual classroom
environments, social networks have
become an important part of the E-
learning 2.0. Social networks have been
used to foster online learning
communities around subjects as diverse
as test preparation and language
education (Manprit, 2011). Mobile
Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is
the use of handheld computers or cell
phones to assist in language learning.

11. • Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)
and Personal Learning Environments
(PLE’s) provides an easy to use system
to deliver flexible learning materials,
activities and support to students in all
institutions. Administrators, a VLE
provides a set of tools that allow
students to course content and will be
managed efficiently and provide a single
point of integration with student
records system (Mohammed, 2009).

12. • How does technology
fit in a collaborative
learning environment
?
• What does that
mean?
Technology and
Collaborative
Learning

13. • The use of Smart Boards,
interactive whiteboards, the
Internet, and projectors hooked
to laptops, facilitate the way we
distribute the content that is to
be learned. They also open up
avenues for each student to
search and discover on their own
given the lessons parameters.

14. How It Works
• Students can use computers
and software programs to
create podcasts for reports,
PowerPoint for presentations,
and even music software to
write or download their own
music into their work.

15. • The teacher uses technology to
share and demonstrate lessons in a
way that is both interactive and
collaborative, and keeps the student
engaged both physically and
mentally. Technology should be seen
as a partner in the new educational
environment. It can, and does, make
the classroom truly global in both its
discovery and its learning.

16. Benefits of Collaborative
Learning
• Development of higher level thinking skills
• Creates an environment of active, involved,
exploratory learning
• Students explore alternate problem
solutions in a safe environment
• Addresses learning style differences
among students
• Classroom resembles real life social and
employment situations

17. Challenges of Collaborative
Learning
For instructor
Extensive revision of syllabus to
account for increase in group work
Revision of time allocation for
assignments
Adaptations to changing role that
increase student responsibility for own
learning

18. For students
Adjustments to group work format
Time management issues involved with
working around group member’s
schedules
Increased responsibility for own
learning
Classrooms set-up for teacher-
centered/lectures
Conversion from competitive to
cooperative nature
