Collaborative learning involves students and teachers working together to understand course material rather than the teacher acting as the sole expert. The teacher takes on the role of facilitator rather than tutor and students work in groups on activities to explore course concepts. Effective collaborative learning involves setting initial group conditions, assigning roles or information, including interaction rules to scaffold discussion, and having the teacher monitor and regulate interactions.
