What is

Collaborative classroom

A collaborative classroom is a classroom where students actively work with each other and with an educator in an active group learning environment. Collaborative classrooms utilize group learning principles, peer feedback and, often, technology such as tablets, smartphones and laptops to promote discussion, improve class participation and prompt greater knowledge generation.

Collaborative classrooms refer to teaching circumstances that emphasize group education. In a collaborative classroom, students are encouraged to think critically, troubleshoot problems and offer feedback to peers. As collaborative classrooms promote deductive reasoning and cooperation amongst students and teachers, they are valuable tools that prepare students for the workforce.
