What is Collaborative Learning?

This learning style is defined by the cooperation between users to make meaning and process information. Collaborative learning is often credited with having sophisticated methods of correcting misinformation without singling out errors, because learners compare interpretations and accept or reject pieces of each.

Collaboration is a key indictor of effectiveness in online learning. No virtual learning environment can replace the interaction of two human beings, however they can be built with a personal touch.
