Abstract

Learner-centered learning theories such as active learning and collaborative learning are highly supported by Web 2.0 technologies and they are augmenting traditional teacher-centered approaches. New teaching pedagogies such as flipped classroom have also embraced the use of collaborative learning where students engage in group-based activities during class time and they embark on asynchronous video lectures after the classroom. However, there is little research on how flipped classrooms can support online collaborative learning. In order to improve online collaborative learning and enhance active learning, this chapter provides some literature review on collaborative learning as well as the critical aspects for online collaborative learning. This chapter also discusses how online collaborative learning can be integrated in a flipped classroom. To that end, the authors recommend further research on how specific online collaboration tools can be applied in flipped classroom.
