– The 2020 TLI Planning Committee –
Learning in higher education continues to evolve beyond traditional didactic teaching to include a wide range of pedagogical methods that engages learners in their own learning. Collaborative learning is a learner-centred approach that involves two or more learners working together in an active task. Collaborative learning is predicated on the following assumptions of learning:

Learning is an active, constructive process
Learning depends on rich contexts
Learners bring diverse perspectives and abilities
Leaning is inherently social

Collaborative learning is complex and goes beyond group-work. It promotes learning together in a constructionist manner, involving students in the creation of content through investigation and discussion, in an iterative framework. Collaborative learning boosts self-efficacy, enhancing social skills and increasing civic responsibility.
