“…In contrast, some previous research are suggesting different result with the findings of that research. Razali et al (2015)'s research shows that the learning environment is one of the three main factors that affect collaboration.

“…Therefore, collaborative learning has become a well-established instructional method used in online courses. Razali, Shahbodin, Hussin, and Bakar (2015) (1996) argued that "collaborative learning is a personal philosophy, not just a classroom technique. In all situations where people come together in groups, it suggests a way of dealing with people, which respects and highlights individual group members' abilities and…”

“…The findings of this study suggested that instructors need to incorporate a variety of instructional strategies in order to improve the quality of group collaboration such as: facilitating learner readiness for group work, establishing a sense of community within groups, monitoring group activities, providing clear instructions and feedback, and allowing sufficient time for collaborative learning activities. Razali et al (2015) identified that some other strategies including creating a learning environment, learning interaction, and learning design that impact effective collaboration in online learning environments.…”

“…Therefore, it is timely to consider what aspects of online student collaboration that have been developed over the past one and a half years at higher learning institutions are worth holding on to, abandoning, overhauling, and introducing. Past studies carried out on students at the tertiary level show various factors affecting the effectiveness of online collaborative teamwork which include group size and group formation (Tosuntas, 2020), learning environment, learning design, and learning interaction (Razali et al, 2014), teamwork principles such as skills to evaluate the performance of other team members and negotiating skills (Gapinski, 2018) and student interaction and online collaborative tools (Hernandez-Selles et al, 2019). Not much attention, however, has been given to online collaborative skills and technology use.…”

Collaborative skills have been perceived as the most important skills by learners, instructors, and employers alike in comparison to communication and entrepreneurial skills. Despite its significant role in the workplace, many find that working together with others may complicate tasks due to limited background knowledge and problems with social dynamics. There has not been a single assessment created to assess online collaboration as an integrated performance during group-based tasks. The present study, therefore, attempts to examine learners’ online collaborative performance and the dimensions contributing to effective online collaboration at the tertiary level. A mixed-method research design was adopted using surveys and interviews. A number of 508 undergraduates from local universities were given a questionnaire inquiring about their online collaborative behaviour in group work, while 30 of them were interviewed. The findings indicated that the communication tools and technological facilities category were rated the highest in online collaborative performance, whereas sharing responsibilities was rated the highest in team dynamics. There was also a significant correlation between online collaborative performance and team dynamics. Interview responses showed that learners agreed that good communication, clear goals, and team commitment were important elements for successful online collaboration. Despite the potential to enhance students’ online collaborative performance, collaborative learning is demanding for learners and educators alike.
