  learning Social Community Collaboration

  • "Learning is fundamentally social. Learning is really a matter of
    changing identity, not just acquiring knowledge. That knowledge is
    integrated in the life of communities. When people develop and share
    values, perspectives, and ways of doing things, they create a
    "community of practice." The challenge to all of us in education, on
    behalf of students and organizations, is to create, negotiate,
    nurture, and sustain the communities of practice in which effective
    learning takes place

  The aim of this paper is to identify the key elements that make up a networked collaborative learning community. It is hoped that by doing this it will raise awareness of these factors for people running networked learning events using a collaborative lea

  literature

  • They see the broad difference between the two as being the amount
    of self-determination or self-direction; with cooperative learning
    being very much teacher-controlled and collaborative learning being
    learner-controlled.
  • However, experientially I believe that what distinguishes
    collaboration from cooperation comes down to exactly what is shared.
    When cooperating, it is only physical resources (objects, time,
    money) or intellectual resources (knowledge, expertise) that are
    shared. Whereas when collaborating, in addition to these shared
    physical and intellectual resources, are shared goals,
    responsibilities, values, beliefs and attitudes. Some of these
    intellectual resources (both cognitive and affective) may become
    shared through the practice of cooperation but with collaboration
    they are factored in from the start. From this collaborative sharing
    comes synergy which adds value by producing something
    new and unique.

  • • There is another important area that needs to be addressed with
      collaborative learning software which is related to communication;
      namely knowledge construction. It has been noted by researches that
      threaded discourse, of the type found in Lotus Notes and the majority
      Web-based conferencing software, actually works against convergent
      thinking processes over time (Hiltz, 1986; Harassim, 1990; Eastmond,
      1994). It is found that this can have "a negative effect both on the
      learner's efforts to synthesize ideas, and on collaborative processes
      which become increasingly fragmented as discussion threads and
      individual interests diverge." (Hewitt, 1997).
