Fostering Online Interactions Between Learners

Abstract

Learning has abandoned its conventional and traditional knowledge acquisition style; it started breaking the limited information channels, flowing in all possible directions, while seeking and absorbing the intelligence of its choice. All due to technology that offers more possibilities in various fields, it makes it possible to fill this void created by these learning styles. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is an educational approach in which learning is based on social interaction between learners through the internet. Sharing, the construction of knowledge, and skills development are part of the characteristics of this type of learning while pulling a better profit from technology. The CSCL approach can be implemented in online learning environments. This chapter provides an innovative pedagogical scenario that aims to promote online interactions between learners in a hybrid learning device based on CSCL approach.
