3. THE CONDITIONS FOR EFFECTIVE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

Scholars started with a simple question 'is collaborative learning more efficient than learning alone' ? While a majority of studies have shown that collaborative learning is often efficient [7], some studies brought contradictory evidence. Sometimes, collaborative learning does not work properly. The discrepancy between these findings led scholars to seek for conditions under which collaborative learning occurs to be efficient or not. A wide range of conditions or independent variables have been studied. These conditions can be clustered into three categories: the group composition, the task features and the communication medium. We attempt to relate these conditions with the features found in some Internet tools.

3.1 Group composition
3.2 Task features
3.3 Communication media
