Answer
As students engage in dialogue, say in building a sustainable starship in Minecraft, they construct meaning together. Through a 3-d modeling process each student conceptualizes a build through shared dialogue where they constantly navigate meaning as it occurs in the other, reinterpret their design guided by each others feedback, and experience immediate visual/kinesthetic response through destruction and subsequent creation of a shared build.
In a final presentation using a “conducted die“ improv technique to elicit shared knowledge, students effectively synthesize their experience activating visual, auditory and improvisational cognitive skills.

Universities are increasingly stressing graduate qualities that they aim to develop in their students. However, creativity is often absent from this list of graduate qualities. Nevertheless, it is emerging as an important attribute among employers and students. Work integrated learning provides a suitable approach in developing creativity skills. Notions of creativity are shifting from an artistic trait of individuals to a collaborative, purposeful, team-based process. Creativity is emerging as an important graduate attribute across a wide range of disciplines including business, engineering, science and the arts.
Relevant answer
Answer
Creativity motivates students to learn. When students are focused on a creative goal, they become more absorbed in their learning and more driven to acquire the skills they need to accomplish it. So creativity should be a graduate quality for all university graduates.

I want to know there is a difference in the big and small classes at the university in this case.
Relevant answer
Answer
Cooperative learning differs not only between large and small classes, but also its applicability.
Cooperative learning does not actually work except with small groups that do not exceed the members of each group with 7 learners in order to achieve the desired educational goals.
If the classrooms are very large, cooperation is possible, but it will not be cooperative learning in the strict sense of this strategy, because the conditions for classroom organization, group division, etc. will not be fulfilled, and learning will be closer to discussion and dialogue only.

What is your perspective about this question?
Relevant answer
Answer
Collaborative learning is a way to prepare higher education learners for their professional careers and personal lives too. Yes, I would highly recommend this active learning approach in our classroom. Why? Because we are bringing out or nurture their skills in communication, negotiation, respect diversity, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, just to list some. However, the instruction does matter.
How to make a collaboration learning a success? I would like to these tips.
1. plan a task that is authentic, close to their environment or context. for example, a current case that is happening around them
2. have ground rules before executing the task. allow them to create the rules and assign roles. for example, timeline, respect each other, ownership of work
3. A briefing is important. We need to have common goals and agree to achieve goals, together (that is a collaborative word, togetherness)
4. Have a clear assessment task. Inform learners of what and how they are going to be asssesed.
5. Have a safe and fun setting and make sure we understand the background of our learners.
All the best

Sorry for jumping in too late, but let me say something about your questions. I do strongly believe that, regardless formal definitions, collaborative learning is meant to develop an ideal asset through which learners, as a group, are hopefully expected to explore a component. On the flip side, cooperative learning tends to scaffold the missing parts of individuals within the group to achieve the desired effect. In the end, it is possible to say that cooperative learning is an additional means to generate all that would serve the final objectives of the learning process. Houda Boumediene

Many years ago I used to have more personal relations with my students in class and outside class settings.  Recently it seems that many students come and go without me even knowing their names. Is there a problem here that needs work or is this normal?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Dr Sami
Improving students' relationships with teachers has important, positive and long-lasting implications for both students' academic and social development. Solely improving students' relationships with their teachers will not produce gains in achievement. However, those students who have close, positive and supportive relationships with their teachers will attain higher levels of achievement than those students with more conflict in their relationships.
I think correcting students in front of their peers can embarrass them, this feeling may be hurt them ,  not necessarily because of what they are being corrected for, but how they are being corrected.I usually try to consider their feeling in the class.

I'm working with cognitive and social-emotional complexity, via a profile tool use on MBA and PhD students that breaks down how they think in context. I'm not a fan of the Big Five, so my response would be more detailed in that Extroversion and Introversion can be broken down further into a combination of Thinking Preferences. In my experience of over 120 student profiles, the tendency for collaboration is low.
The MBTI system in the above link is not useful. It's a horoscope in my experience. For example: does a person prefer to be an Individualist or a Team Member? Those two Thinking Preferences alone will give you more information than any MBTI "profile".

Learners collaborate face-to-face in an intra-cultural environment and they also engage in online intercultural collaboration. How can I possibly measure learners' collaboration skills? Thank you for your answer in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
True qualitative research does not involve measurement, but for other purposes, you could convert the qualitative data to quantitative data (i.e., quantize it). This would involve building a formal scoring system for your qualitative data. In particular, you could define a set of behaviors that indicate collaboration skills, along with a codebook, which would let you count every time that one of these behaviors occurred. 
This is also known as quantitative content analysis, and there are a number of good book on this topic, including one by Krippendorff and one by Neuendorf. I have attached a book chapter that gives an introduction to this approach.

Answer
Professor Nicola's response is a very interesting submission. I perfectly appreciate the depth and breadth of the experience and the journeys undertaken towards such an esteemed scholar.
I want to extend the argument by referring every one of us to the Satire of the Saberttoth Curriculum by Peddiwell. Peddiwell advances arguments against solid, unchanging specialization because in that pre-glacial age where the waters were clear and ichthyologists could catch fish with their bare hands their fish-grabbing skills were the most sought after. So were the skills of the wooly-horse clubbers and tiger-snaring/tiger-catching specialists. When times changed, and the glacier moved and made the waters murky, those with PhDs in fish-grabbing with bare hands could no longer survive: they had to adapt to new environs and therefore invented crude nets that they could use to catch fish in the murky waters. And so did the other skills have to morph for 'the new age and the new challenges.' I still submit that generalists are fine when times are not as demanding. We need specialists in specific disciplines, who will not be stricto sensu confined to the specialisations but are broad enough to be sensitive to intersections of knowledges and disciplines.
For once, we need to understand the nuances of the Sabertooth Curriculum and how it mocks both generalists and specialists, making us suggest that the specialist must at all times be aware of  "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for A Hat", especially the eternally memorable story, "Rebecca" (Oliver Sachs)

Relevant answer
Answer
Personalized learning systems are self-managed/autonomic agent based systems which gain cognition via conscious/deep sense rather than collaborative/social firms of learning. Learning recommender systems are controllable picky/choosy social engines which demand vivid data and build evolving patterns of preferences that can be reused in other arenas, all recommender systems learning methods are abstracted from game theory/gamefication models. Adaptive learning systems are based on blended "evolving"/"self-configuring" systems that change their innate behavior automatically from realtime data or new design requirements at runtime, its worth to mention that adaptive learning systems do not consume plans, patterns of behavior to favor the learnt objectives as perceived/ignited by receptor, rather they tend to enhance mechanics and strategies of the learning process.

Answer
Dear Micaela Ochoa,
Indubitably, collaboration between district offices in the educational circle has always played a pivotal role along with the evaluation factor. In point of fact, collaboration is a working process in which the educational objectives are coordinated for the purpose of uniformity and standardization. Unless DOs operate within a standardized schedule, the goals defined at the macro-level go awry and the created inconsistency creates havoc. Consequently,  as you have rightly observed, thorough collaboration DO departments can materialize the supportive role much needed for increasing the quality of services required for various schools operating under the wings of such districts.

I'd like to provide an answer to a slight variation of the question you've posed.  ¿What are the similarities between teaching via collaborative learning and online/hybrid learning?  My research points to three things that must be considered very carefully by teachers in these contexts:
(1) Skills for successful autonomous learning often must be taught and modeled.  Many of our strongest students have learnt these skills tacitly in one form or another, but my experience is that the majority of students have not.
(2) It is one thing to convince a group of students they must be responsible for their own learning, and it is another thing to change their epistemic beliefs regarding the nature of knowledge creation.  In that autonomous learning proves to be important in both collaborative learning and online/distance learning, the skills are not enough.  They are much more effective if the students come to acknowledge that they are now the creators of their new knowledge.  (I.e., they see the benefit, and they do not interpret the situation as the "teacher not doing their job.")
(3) Students want to be a part of a community.  The more opportunities to authentically work with other students, the better.  And, as it should not be assumed that the students will learn the other skills "along the way," it is best to provide specific activities to encourage students to build community early.
First, let me stress that I do not mean to suggest that these are not issues in regular classrooms.  But, it was a key point in my research when I first discovered the parallels of these three aspects in inquiry based learning and online instruction.  Second, I do not want to suggest that all students do not already know this.  In fact, having students share their strategies with each other has been a powerful learning experience for me, too.
Hope this proves to be useful information.
Cheers,

As a part of my master, I'm trying to build a framework for designing online learning communities. To do this, I would like start with an evaluation of an existing online educational platform. I would like to understand what components in a online education platform is important for:
  1. Motivating the learning.
  2. Supporting collaborative learning.
  3. Establishing a sense of belonging to a community.
The kind of platform I'm interested in, is one where teachers and students dont meet physically, but only interact online.
My intention is to start with some observation of a student doing his daily task, then make some qualitative interviews with a few teachers and student and at last, making a quantitative analysis from a questionary.
As I'm new to this, all guiding an shared experience would be of great value. 
Relevant answer
Answer
The topic is close to one of the areas of my research on sociology of technology in education.
Few suggestions:
1) I think you could gain insights into all 3 aspects you want with an online survey, that is, obtaining information based on users' statements. This quantitative tool is, for example, best for your no. 1 issue of motivation as  it is difficult for us to guess users' motivation  with direct observations. You might, but it will take many hours for a little piece of information.
2) Survey data could be followed by direct observations. This stage will be, I think, particularly useful for your No. 2 issue, that is, collaboration and it will be happening right in front of you. Then, step 3:  narrow down the number of participants to the cases  for interview you are really interested in.  Remember that all steps 1 , 2 and 3 have different sampling method, although they might come from the same N pool.
3) There are many technological tools with different level of learning. So, my final  suggestion is this. Instead of going into a technology ad random or the first at hand (what you use now, for example), perhaps it would be smarter  to choose a technological platform that is proven to be education-oriented, e.g., Moodle. I think this will save time for you. If you choose other lesser educational tools such as Pods and Facebook, then your research will be more difficult to handle and keep the focus you wanted. This is because the technical variation tends to derail researchers from the 'main road'.  There are substantial amount of research on Moodle, so this is also an advantage. You start from a solid literature ground.
Cheers

In the US at least - we are somewhat hampered by policy related mandates on what should be taught and how it should be taught and assessed. This inhibits the integration of technology for many of the high impact practices that theory would lead us to believe will make a large difference in student learning. What changes do you think need to be put in place to change the current architecture in such a way to afford better technology-mediated/integrated learning? I would love to hear not just about changes to US policy - but also policies that other countries have put in place that are making a difference with respect to the use of technology in the classroom.

Answer
Hi Kimberly, I think that policies that hamper or constrain teacher autonomy are the ones that have the biggest impact on teachers using technology in the classroom. Many of my students, in-service teachers, express a great deal of fear about trying new things in the classroom.  They are afraid of principals and district personnel who don't understand or misunderstand what they are trying to do. Policies that have weakened the power of unions have also contributed to this sense of vulnerability that leaves teachers waiting to be told what to do.

I wrote the Foreword for the book Collaboration in Learning: Transcending the Classroom Walls by Mal Lee and Lorrae Ward - https://shop.acer.edu.au/acer-shop/product/A5304BK. The following is an extract from that Foreword:
"Central to the book is collaborative learning, reflecting the appropriate title of the book – Collaboration in learning: Transcending the four walls. Morten Hansen in the influential work Collaboration: How Leaders Avoid the Traps, Build Common Ground, and Reap Big Results refers to ‘disciplined collaboration’ as the important  ‘leadership practice of properly assessing when to collaborate (and when not to) and instilling in people both the willingness and the ability to collaborate when required’.
Interestingly, Hansen highlighted four barriers - the “not-invented-here” barrier (we don’t reach out to others); the “hoarding” barrier (we keep things to ourselves); the “search” barrier (we can’t find what we need anywhere); and the “transfer” barrier (we only work with people we know well).
In response, Hansen suggested that there are three levers to overcome these barriers which highlight collaboration; namely, the Unification lever – to get everyone aiming at a lofty goal; the T-shape lever – to work within and across units simultaneously; and the Networks lever – to get people to use their personal networks.
The authors provide guidance which aligns with Hansen’s thinking, and provides relevant, practical guidance. They outline the importance of vision, projects, programs, programs, outputs, outcomes, and the benefits.  Key questions are asked in relation to these and proposals are suggested in this book.  Collectively, these provide powerful ideas for educators." It's worth reading.

As part of my PhD research, I am investigating the efficacy of peer to peer prompts in the context of a collaborative learning session, using John Warfield's Interactive Management methodology. This will involve analysis of the dialogue and collaborative conversational dynamics among groups of students during this process. As such, it is necessary for me to familiarise myself with relevant theories of dialogue, collaboration, argumentation, peer interaction and learning. Knowledge of these and other relevant theories will be of great benefit to me as I consider my approach to analysing student interactions, dialogue, and outcomes in these collaborative learning sessions.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could recommend any theories, measures, or conceptual frameworks which I should consider as part of process.

Just so you know, there is a newer (2014) second edition of the Charmaz book. It doesn't chasing much of what she said in the 2006 version, and instead mostly adds some new chapters.
As for the lack of a control group, a control group is primarily useful when you are doing quantitative research, and what you have in mind is very different. So, I would not worry about what your research does not do. Instead, I would concentrate on the strengths of what your project can contribute to knowledge in your field.

Hello Militiadis,
Firstly it's a great idea in developing a clear vision in Horizon 2020.
I too agree that Next-generation Collaborative Learning Platforms would be of paramount importance in this aspect.
I strongly view that Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) would play an important role in this aspect.
On one hand it would help reaching a larger audience beyond barriers. Also using different MOOCs platforms, a larger education community would be intertwined over some common interest.
Another important aspect of MOOCs I would like to mention is that, it could be implemented as a pathway to Ubiquitous Learning.
In this scenario, education would be virtually available everywhere and to everyone. Anyone seeking education could get it free, anytime and at any place on the earth.
As a Masters student, I view the education scenario to be this by 2020.
Thank you....

please help me if you have any articles or opinions about collaborative learning.
Relevant answer
Answer
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning which involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Learning through collaboration not only makes learning easy but it broadens the minds of learners. And so to that extent, it would help learners in reading comprehension in an ESP and any other class for that matter.
The point must be made that collaborative learning is not one single mechanism: if one talks about "learning from collaboration", one should also talk about "learning from being alone". Individual cognitive systems do not learn because they are individual, but because they perform some activities (reading, building, predicting, ...) which trigger some learning mechanisms (induction, deduction, compilation, comprehension). Similarly, peers do not learn because they are two, but because they perform some activities which trigger specific learning mechanisms. This includes the activities/mechanisms performed individually, since individual cognition is not suppressed in peer interaction.
In addition, the interaction among subjects generates extra activities (explanation, disagreement, mutual regulation, ...) which trigger extra cognitive mechanisms (knowledge elicitation, internalisation, reduced cognitive load). And the reduction in cognitive load inures to the benefit of students in reading comprehension. Teachers must instil and encourage collaborative learning since its advantages far outweigh its weaknesses. I hope this view helps you.

+Welcome.
The Jigsaw teaching technique [1] supports team learning & empathy by engaging all students in two kinds of groups given a topic. First, the topic is segmented into N aspects or parts. Second, the students in their, one out of N, expert group focus on one aspect of the topic. Third, in their jigsaw group they learn all aspects of the topic. As in a jigsaw puzzle, each piece, that is each student's part, is essential for the completion of the process.
The e-Jigsaw could be the online, or even blended, implementation of this technique.
Please share with us your experience or opinion or interesting references with regard to this technique considering also the following questions:
Could you mention any implementations of the technique?
At which ages is this technique more effective?
How can technology support or complement, as e-Jigsaw, this technique?
Could this technique be analysed into categories?

[ Featured references:

Relevant answer
Answer
What you refer to as the jigsaw puzzle model reminds me of the old Harvard Model (from what I can recall) where each member in a set or group becomes a subject matter expert on particular aspects and then reports the information they have accumulated to the group in the form of discussions.
At Keiser University we use a "jigsaw puzzle" method for learning material. In our case we break up the major work into seemingly unrelated events based upon our current research interests.and after several weeks we build a final project based upon our research with the materials based upon whatever the overall research topic we are studying is covered. For instance, my last class was in Qualitative research methods and the assignments did not make much sense to me by themselves as I am more oriented towards quantitative research. Upon the conclusion of several weeks the materials we were studying was joined into a research proposal project based upon our individual interests which was classifiable as Qualitative in nature. 
The true advantage with the model we use at Keiser University is we are able to envelop a topic from multiple approaches inter-mixed with deep discussions to come to a better understanding than if we just read the book and was given some general instructions for a final project. In my opinion this building block method has been most beneficial for me due to severe memory issues.

After that, individual students are invited to answer issues related to the case. They are given marks for insightful interventions and answers (Collaborative as well as cooperative learning)
