6. Collaborative learning
“[C]ollaborative production is simple: no one person can take
credit for what gets created, and the project could not come into
being without the participation of many.”
Clay Shirky, Here comes everybody
7. Outcomes of collaboration
1. Appropriation - my ideas plus your ideas equals
our collaborative artifact
2. Co-construction - my ideas multiplied with your
ideas equals a collaborative product that is
greater than the mere sum of our separate efforts
3. Transformation - the experience of working with
another changes the way a person thinks and
offers opportunity for transfer of skills
(Mercer, 2013)

learn with others beyond their immediate
environment in order to support curricular
objectives, intercultural understandings, critical
thinking, personal and social capabilities and
ICT capabilities
