Collaborative Learning in the Cloud: A Cross-Cultural Perspective of Collaboration

Published:24 August 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

This present study aims to investigate how students perceive collaboration and identifies associated technologies used to collaborate. In particular we aim to address the following research questions: What are the factors that impact satisfaction with collaboration? How do these factors differ in different collaborative settings? Based on data from 75 students from Denmark and Germany, the article identifies collaborative practices and factors that impact positively and negatively satisfaction with collaboration.
