TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR
COLLABORATION
According to Valamis, collaborative learning is the educational approach
of using groups to enhance learning through working together. Groups of
two or more learners work together to solve problems, complete tasks,
learn new concepts, mutually searching for understanding, meanings, or
creating a product (Smith & MacGregor, n.d.) Additionally, this approach
actively engages learners to process and synthesize information and
concepts, rather than using rote memorization of facts and figures.
Learners work with each other on projects, where they must collaborate
as a group to understand the concepts being presented to them.
Cornell University Foundation asserted that research shows that
educational experiences that are active, social, contextual,
engaging, and student-owned lead to deeper learning. The benefits
of collaborative learning include:

- Development of higher-level thinking, oral communication, self-


management, and leadership skills.
- Promotion of student-faculty interaction.
- Increase in student retention, self-esteem, and responsibility.
- Exposure to and an increase in understanding of diverse
perspectives.
- Preparation for real life social and employment situations.
Furthermore, when using collaborative learning, teachers must take
into the following considerations:

- Introduce group or peer work early in the semester to set clear student
expectations.
- Establish ground rules for participation and contributions
- Plan for each stage of group work.
- Carefully explain to your students how groups or peer discussion will
operate and how students will be graded.
- Help students develop the skills they need to succeed, such as using
team- building exercises or introducing self-reflection techniques.
- Consider using written contracts.
- Incorporate self -assessment and peer assessment for group members
to evaluate their own and others' contributions.
Clifford (2012) introduced some ways to include best practices
for collaborative learning in the classroom:

1. Establish group goals


2. Keep groups mid-sized
3. Establish flexible group norms
4. Build trust and promote open communication
5. For larger tasks, create group roles
6. Create a pre-test and post-test
7. Consider the learning process itself as part of assessment
8. Consider using different strategies, like the Jigsaw technique
Common Examples of Online Tools for Student Collaboration

1. Email - Email is a great way for students to communicate with each other. If they have
questions about assignments, they can email their peers for a quick answer. They can also
help each other with projects.
2. Video Conferencing - Allows students and teachers to communicate with one another
from any location. With video conferencing, educators can support their efforts at
implementing flipped, blended, and online learning methodologies.
3. Social Media - An effective instrument for students to study and share their thoughts. It
provides a fresh method of interacting with peers and teachers. The primary benefits of
social media for schools are that it aids in learning, collaboration, and communication.
4. Collaborative messaging apps - Materials that are sent through a message instead of
being distributed individually by the teacher. Students can be re-grouped easily; if a text
proves too hard for a student they can easily be allocated another one, or if a student
arrives late they can be easily given a text.
Other Examples of Online Tools for Student Collaboration

1. Quizlet - Students can review and quiz each other from the comfort of their own
bedrooms with Quizlet. Students make sets of flashcards for an upcoming test, and then
they can share them with their classmates. This allows students to split up the workload
as well. You can even divide the material into sections and have each student make cards
for one of those sections.
2. Yo!Teach - With this backchannel communication tool, you create a chat room and can
post questions, moderate discussions, delete responses, and have control over who is
communicating within the chat room. Students can submit a drawing, create a poll, or use
the voting feature.
3. Flipgrid - Flipgrid is a social media-style video discussion platform great for generating
class discussions around topics, videos, or links posted to the class grid. Students can
video record their responses to share with the teacher or class. Use it for book reviews,
peer feedback, sharing, and celebrating work.
Other Examples of Online Tools for Student Collaboration

4. Parlay - Parlay allows you to compile resources around a discussion prompt, have
students submit a response to the discussion prompt, and then engage students in both
written and verbal discussion and peer feedback. It’s the perfect tool for virtual Socratic
seminars!
5. Mural - This digital workspace is designed for visual collaboration. Students can draw,
create and move around virtual sticky notes, build diagrams, add videos, and more
6. Miro - We used our whiteboard all the time when teaching in person. Miro is a digital
whiteboard with all kinds of options for creating diagrams and solving problems.
7. Wakelet - If you want to organize and share resources with your students, this is your tool.
You can create a lesson plan, project, newsletter, reading list, and more.
8. Loop - This app-based platform provides students and teachers with a space to ask and
answer questions. Teachers can create a question for the class and choose to provide
students with the space to post a private response or keep it open to collect and share all
responses.
