No, it does not matter.. Systems used DO matter. Most systems support any number of members, so, it`s the system you`re using... features matter... supported hosting matter.. being free or paid do matter as well...

Open source self-hosting solutions are the best ones there...

If your organization have good budget, they may prefer paid solutions with more features.

I don`t recommend free solutions as they have limitations, but open source ones are good and I recommend them.. provided that you build or hire a programmer. Open source solutions that hosted in the cloud are ready but DO have limitations.

The colaborative work is the same in both cases in its principles. Of course, if there is a technological support, the process ocurrs better than ther is not.

There is no difference, but sometimes the scientific specialization has a role in determining some additions for each class.

There is no big difference between big and large classes in terms of collaboration. It is the teacher who can manage this issue to create the will of collaboration between groups of students.

It depends on learnrs mind some times working alone is better and sometimes due to time management it requires to work in collaboratin

When it comes to new information, you would see a lot coming from a larger group, hoping that many would participate and share ideas and experiences. But when it comes to honing and practicing skills, a smaller group is more effective because the facilitator can attend to just enough number of participants to be managed. A smaller group, in my opinion, would definitely create more outcomes and impacts as regards to learning skills and behavior, which may not be afforded by a larger group.

In any situation, it's good to dedicate a part of the class to the general discussion, and the other part - to the small (3-4 people) group activities.

Collaborative learning is when students work together on bits and pieces of at task and not divide it amongst them cooperatively. So the more is always the best in terms of students numbers. The gains are numerous in terms what students get out of collaborative learning. Issues to think about are the kind of skills you want to boost using collaborative learning and of course classroom management.

In my opinion, the number in a group depends on the subject or issue that will be discussed. But the amount in a group does not need to be too large or too small so that sharing of knowledge will be more useful. Students need to be more prepared when there is a discussion about an issues or topics. Students also need to work together to get better result. This collaborative learning also requires the competence of a teacher to manage their students.

This is due to the collaborative strategy used. Strategies for large groups are not suitable for small groups and vice versa

In pedagogy, the learning strategy called "collaborative" is technical in its usability and dependent on a number of issues to be considered before implementation. One should note that to use collaborative learning strategy involves interactions between teacher (moderator) and learners, or among learners (peers) themselves that will bring about meaningful and stress free learning in an engaging environment; which is also conducive. Hence, the suitability of collaborative learning strategy may not be appropriate for large class engagements. Also, depending on the number involved, objective(s) in focus, subject content to be learnt, among others it may not be suitable for a small group of 15 and more.

Yes, cooperative learning differs in large and small classes, as the greater the number of students in the class, the more difficult it is for the teacher to direct and follow up on students

Dear Dr Atieh Heydarian . Yes because dealing with smaller classes is easier for the teacher and his/her giving . See the following useful RG: Article Collaborative Learning in Higher Education: Evoking Positive...

The collaboration itself changes little, as it takes place "on the sidelines" of the lesson and exclusively for those interested in learning more about the topics.

Cooperative learning differs not only between large and small classes, but also its applicability.

Cooperative learning does not actually work except with small groups that do not exceed the members of each group with 7 learners in order to achieve the desired educational goals.

If the classrooms are very large, cooperation is possible, but it will not be cooperative learning in the strict sense of this strategy, because the conditions for classroom organization, group division, etc. will not be fulfilled, and learning will be closer to discussion and dialogue only.
