Abstract

Two trends, among many, in pedagogy are rising in relevance in today’s higher education. One advocates the use of collaborative learning; the other advocates the use of new learning technologies. These pedagogies are often found diverging in opposite directions. Collaborative learning focuses on learning with one another and from one another in small groups. New learning technologies often focus on the individual learning at home or in a lab, alone, quietly with a computer. Both methods can fall under the realm of “active learning” where students are actively involved with the subject rather than simply listening to a lecture on the topic. We would like to use this discussion paper to illustrate how both types of active learning can be combined to further enhance the educational experience for students.
