To be more effective, open and distance learning programmes should
incorporate collaborative learning environments with the purpose of engaging learners in
the learning process. This will eventually develop into a learning community that would
help, among others, to reduce the feeling of loneliness and isolation commonly felt
among distance learners. A study to determine the perceptions of tutors on online
collaborative learning, particularly in how tutors viewed online collaborative learning at
the Open University Malaysia (OUM) was conducted. Their online pattern of
collaboration was also determined. The paper highlights the research and its findings and
provides suggestions on future training of the tutors to help ensure the success of online
collaborative learning at the university. The findings will be useful to those who are
designing tutor training programmes for online collaborative learning. |
