29. Co-operative e-learning
Essi Vuopala’s dissertation: lehti.yliopistopedagogiikka.fi/2014/05/12/onnistuneen-yhteisollisen-verkko-
oppimisen-edellytykset-nakokulmina-yliopisto-opiskelijoiden-kokemukset-ja-verkkovuorovaikutus (CC BY)
Learning research strongly supports the
vision of the effectiveness of co-operative
learning compared to studying alone.
What is common to successful groups?
• They discussed both the contents
and the group's work.
• They spent time planning and
organizing their work.
• The interaction was also aimed at easing
tension and expressing togetherness.
30. Reflection of learning/studying
• What are the things that contributed to your learning?
• What's going on with your distance learning at the moment?
• What should be changed in your work to better support your learning?
• What was the most important thing you learned today?
• What would be a good question for an exam?
• How did the group support your learning?
• Why was it worth attending?
