Cooperative Learning or Collaborative Learning?

Daniel posted the following:

"While reviewing some of the required readings from the Collaboration 2020 collection, I came across this short blog post on the difference between cooperative learning and collaborative learning that really solidified the difference between the two for me.

Meilleur, C. (2022, June). Collaborative or cooperative learning? Knowledge One - retrieved from this site.

The summary section at the end really highlighted the importance of focusing on collaborative learning methods in instructional design:

'Collaborative learning, more flexible and well-suited to adults, requires more autonomy and control on the part of the learner, who makes more decisions and takes on more responsibility. In short, collaborative learning is an active approach in which everyone works to build their knowledge, and one of the collateral benefits is that it helps develop strong interpersonal skills.'"
