Collaborate and Communicate

Hey everyone, I am going to answer and discuss the following questions. 

• Compare and contrast a collaborative wiki editing project with traditional in-class group work.

In a traditional in-class group work project a teacher and not tell who done what work and if all students have participated in the project. With a wiki teachers can go to the wiki history and tell who done what and at what time. Also with a wiki project students can work with other students around the world and not just their classmates. Students can work on a wiki at home with their partners online, whereas with the traditional in-class group work students are stuck to only being able to work at school when their group members at present. 

• What is the difference between cooperation and collaboration?

 Cooperating is when you work with someone in the sense of enabling the work. Collaboration is when you work side by side with a partner to achieve something.

• How can collaboration be taught?

 Reliable and responsible contribution is where collaborative learning has to start. To collaborate you have to be present and be with others, you can't collaborate alone. So teaching collaboration comes from teaching responsibility and teaching participation.
