Abstract
With the advances in technology, collaborative learning has moved to a different level. While it still requires that team members interact and work together, those interactions can also happen in a technology mediated format. A form of collaborative learning is Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a teaching strategy that emerged from medical schools. This chapter explains in detail how to design and implement collaborative learning and PBL at any level whether the interactions are in person or technology mediated.
