Authors : Azzioui Assia .

Abstract

Abstract: The rapid evolution of information technology and telecommunications is revolutionizing traditional teaching methodologies, creating a necessity for new educational practices. In response to this challenge, this study explores the principles and practices of online collaborative learning (OCL), which supports the growth of knowledge and skills through social construction without face-to-face contact. By reviewing scholarly publications on online collaborative learning, the research examines current practices and identifies trends, issues, and challenges. The study highlights the necessity of intentional design and adaptation to the digital environment to foster effective collaboration and engagement. To meet these needs and guide education in this era of technology, the research emphasizes the importance of employing 21st-century theories, such as the theory of online collaborative learning. The findings reveal that online collaborative learning enhances academic achievement and develops essential skills for cultural and human development.
