"Cooperative Learning" is a formalized learning structure involves students working together in small groups to accomplish shared learning goals and to maximize their own and other's learning.
Students can be facilitated with cooperative learning and in digital world groups can be created easily
Hello
More that cooperative I wrote about Teams e-teams
Ingrid
I have personally used cooperative (or collaborative) learning in online instruction and the results were positive. I created small groups based on students' areas of interest as well as their availability to "meet" online. Some learning management systems like Blackboard allow you to create group sections so that each individual group has a place to collaborate, share and edit documents, participate in discussions, etc. This is helpful. I also found it helpful for the students to select particular roles that they would play while working in their groups. This helped with a more equal distribution of workload. Some potential challenges include having students who live in very different time zones. This makes synchronous collaboration difficult, but you can easily allow for asynchronous collaboration, too.
Thank you Reid Evans for sharing your experiences. This was very helpful. Thank you again.
In a way that could be done. However, would like to share following thoughts,
Cooperative learning is focused on team building.
In cooperative learning activities, individuals complete individual tasks that contribute to the success of the group as a whole—or a team. individuals learn teamwork along with how to be responsible for their own, independent knowledge of training materials. For example, an e-Learning game is one way to foster cooperative, team-building activity.
Collaborative learning is focused on collective problem-solving.
For collaborative learning, individuals are encouraged to communicate with each other as they collectively analyze and discuss ways to solve a problem. Collaborative learning requires employees to exercise a high level of cognitive thinking skills.
E learning methods also could lead to achieve, both the aforesaid objectives in a comprehensive framework...
Haghi A.K. - Thank you for your question. Cooperative learning is not limited to online digital e-learning; it can occur in small groups without the need for digital or online cooperation. I think the e-learning could support such learning, but it is not the cause of cooperation. The design of the course and training of the tutors to foster the cooperation are vital in making such learning happen. The use of e-learning and digital learning has a supplementary effect; it could be used as a means to enhance such process.
Definitely, but only if all scientific facts are mastered by the participants; this requires equal eye level.
Cooperative learning and Collaborative learning are evident in traditional face-to-face teaching.
Online collaborative learning to the use of technology for teaching is very different from the more objectivist approaches found in computer-assisted learning, teaching machines, and artificial intelligence applications to education, which primarily aim to use computing to replace at least some of the activities traditionally done by human teachers.
Dear Dr. Haghi A.K. ,
This paper is very useful:

If, in a way, even if the interactions between peers are at a distance, each member of a study group gives his or her contribution, which can be a positive aspect for their learning.
Think about the way you prefer to learn. Do you like to bounce ideas off other people and engage in conversation and debate, or do you prefer to learn by yourself and seek help only when needed?
Our students need to be engaged in learning in a variety of ways, but collaborative learning has been identified as a necessary skill for success in the 21st century and also an essential component of deep learning.
Cooperative learning involves students working together to accomplish shared goals, and it is this sense of interdependence that motivate group members to help and support each other. When students work cooperatively they learn to listen to what others have to say, give and receive help, reconcile differences, and resolve problems democratically.
Definitely with assistance from other technologically aided means of grouping and taking quizzes and game playing in teams and as individuals, Cooperative Learning is a sure e-learning success in the digital world.
In my opinion yes, because in this cooperative learning we learn by sharing knowledge as a group, concerns and doubts are clarified in group, although the final act is individual as Vygotsky proposed.
Good morning
Yes, of course.
Best regards

yes we consider "cooperative Learning" as a successful framework for E-Learning in Digital world
As you mention, cooperative learning involves working together. However, for learning to be deep and lasting, it will depend a lot on what they do in their groups. How meaningful and collaborative is the process? If the result is that a group of 4 (for example) divide the task into quarters and do one part each, then it is not so very different from working as an individual. The jigsaw technique is one example of a way of incentivising learners to collaborate.
Prof. Firth, yes, for sure cooperative working is efficient in online learning but also needs to be followed by teacher/professor and topics shall be well defined beforehand. Would be very interesting to learn about jigsaw technique, do you have some examples Jonathan William Firth ?
Interesting question and replies.
In any case, it all comes down to appropriate planning.
A teacher might use elements, theories and practices of cooperative learning, while preparing in an on-line class. If the context helps, it can be effective.
Hi Yulia Voytsekhovska, yes absolutely! The jigsaw technique involves 2 stages. In the first, a class is divided into groups of learners, and each group studies a different sub-topic. So for example if children were studying the rainforest, one could learn about animals, one about plants, one about the climate, etc...
Then in the 2nd stage, one student is taken from each group, and the form a new 'jigsaw' group. Because everyone in the new group has learned about a different part of the topic, they must share their knowledge to complete the overall task (for example, make a poster about rainforests).
This technique was developed by psychologist Elliot Aronson to improve respectful communication in desegregated schools, but is also generally just quite a useful way of promoting active collaborative learning.
Thank you Jonathan William Firth , i will for sure try this teaching method, how many jigsaws can be used ?
That's an interesting question, Yulia Voytsekhovska. I guess the upper limit would be determined by how large you want the groups to be in the second stage of the task, and also by the overall number of students. A class of 25 would work very well, as you could have 5 expert groups then rearrange into 5 jigsaw groups. But there might need to be some overlap if the numbers were not so convenient, for example with more than one person from the expert group ending up in the jigsaw group. A little planning is required!
The nature of the topic might also be a factor. In some cases, perhaps there are only two key concepts to share, in which case your final jigsaw groups might actually be pairs.
Thank you@Jonathan William Firth, i will empirically try to find out more, yes, my classes are from 25 to 35, so i will try
