Cooperative learning strategies help students work together using one computer, sharing the keyboard, mouse, and screen. Researchers have found that cooperative learning enhances learning acquisition, retention, and integration of content. It also promotes positive relationships and self-esteem. Computers are a good tool for cooperative learning because they motivate students to work together to succeed with technology. Students also need each other's help due to varying skill levels and different software navigation controls.

2. Why & What is
Cooperative Learning
with Computer?

3. Cooperative learning strategies help
students work together, sharing one keyboard,
one mouse, and one screen.
Cooperative learning strategies also direct
and integrate the use of two or more
different programs in a lesson.

4. Researchers at John Hopkins, the
University of California, and the
University of Minnesota have been
studying how learning is enhanced
through cooperative behavior. They have
been able to quantify that many of us
have known experientially for years.

5. ...when students work together they experience
better acquisition, retention and integration of
content. Cooperative learning also promotes
positive peer to peer relationships, student self-
esteem and the desire to learn.

6. Why Computers andCooperative Learning are a Great Match?
When properly used, the computer
can be a wonderful tool to facilitate
discussion. frequently find it
difficult to open up and share with
their peers.

7. With a cooperative learning strategy,
the computer helps them get around the
problem. The reason is this: students want to
succeed with these tools and this motivates
them to overcome their natural shyness about
sharing or working together.

8. Two other reasons why computers and cooperative
learning work well together

9. 1. The use of computer software is often task
oriented, i.e., moving about in search of
information or using programs in combination with
each other.

10. 2. Second, because students approach this
technology with varying skill levels and each
program has a unique set of navigational controls,
students often need each other's help.

11. 3. Computers can generate a lot of excitement and
some anxiety among the students.

12. Advantages
1. Encourage active learning, while motivating
students.

13. 2. Increases academic performances

14. 3. Promotes literacy and language skill

15. 4. Improves teacher effectiveness

16. Disadvantages
1. Plagiarism

17. 2. Student Privacy

18. 3. Low Income Groups

19. 4. Time Management
