Collaborative learning is heavily rooted in Vygotsky ’ s views that there exists an inherent social nature of learning which is shown through his theory of zone of proximal development.
Often, collaborative learning is used as an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers.
Thus, collaborative learning is commonly illustrated when groups of students work together to search for understanding, meaning, or solutions or to create an artifact or product of their learning.

Collaborative learning activities can include collaborative writing, group projects, joint problem solving, debates, study teams, and other activities.
The approach is closely related to cooperative learning.
