Challenges of Online Collaborative Learning
•requires additional time
and often does not have
administrative support
•skills to manage the
relationships with
partner classes,
•difficulty in managing
the data produced by
the project
•difficulty in managing
the individual
assessment of student
achievement.
Additional Obstacle to
Implement
this Technology
hesitation on the part of
teachers and administrators
to get involved in a form of
communications that has not
been traditionally part of the
educational system.
