Abstract

Cooperative learning is largely considered a powerful instructional method. Decades of research based on the interdependency theory has created a strong framework on how to design an effective cooperative learning environment. In recent years, new technological innovations have emerged, creating a new field of research known as Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. This chapter examines how technology can be incorporated using the foundation set by cooperative learning, the challenges such incorporation solves, and the challenges it creates. Additionally, this chapter poses some recommendations for both practitioners and researchers of cooperative learning.
