Resumen de Constructing knowledge together
In this chapter, we briefly explain what we propose as a working definition of cooperative andcollaborative learning and why it is important. This chapter gives an overview of how the premise of constructivism provides an important axis for collaborative and cooperative work.We also examine how this type of approach easily fits with online language learning projects.Basic points for setting up online collaborative projects are given, however these examples arequite general in this chapter. Specific examples of how collaborative and/or cooperativelearning can be explored with network-based learning are provided in Chapters 3 and 4, whichdescribe some ICT tools in more detail.
