Glossary definition

Collaborative learning is the result of a small group co-operating together. Collaborative learning assessments emphasise both interdependence and individual responsibility and accountability. Collaborative learning as an educational approach is based on the idea that learning is a social act.
Collaborative leaning assessments create opportunities for students to engage in subject specific discussions with peers; assimilate multiple views to deepen knowledge and promote critical thinking; and develop effective communication, teamwork and cross cultural awareness skills.
