Cooperative or collaborative learning is learning by small groups of students who work in a common learning task. It is advantageous since it encourage active learning while motivating students and improves teacher effectiveness.
Researchers have made studies on the learning interaction between student and the computer. When students work with computers in groups, they cluster and interact with each other for advice and mutual help. Psychologists think that the computer fosters this positive social behavior due to the fact that it has a display monitor just like a television set that is looked upon as something communal.
Researchers agree that the computer is a fairly natural learning vehicle for cooperative learning.
