Online Learning

There does not seem to be a great deal of difference between collaborative and cooperative learning. The main difference is that cooperative learning is more structured with the teacher as the leader. Collaborative learning shifts the responsibility for learning away from the teacher as expert to the student. This concept allows students to buy into their education and become responsible for their learning. Traditional learning with teacher as lecturer is outdated, and as teachers we have to find ways to help our students become responsible for their education.
