Collaborative Intelligence Concept
Collaborative intelligence is the way of sharing information, resources. It is also the way of collecting ideas from different people or resources. It follows a certain system of coordination, cooperation and collaboration.
According to UMESH HIVARKAR, this system involves the following:
Coordination
Involves the use of communication and information exchange to reach mutual benefits among entities through working harmoniously.
Cooperation
Involves, besides all aspects of coordination, a resource-sharing dimension to support goal achievement.
Collaboration
Involves the functionalities of both coordination and cooperation, and refers to the sharing of information, resources, and responsibilities among entities to jointly plan, execute, and analyse the activities required to achieve individual and common goals.

@John Daly, isn't that concern also true in a traditional learning environment? Students often turn in assignments without any critical thinking and just copied from somewhere, and they've done so for years. At least using the internet, in collaborative learning, it is possible that other peers could comment on the validity and the reliability. In other words, help each other do better.
However, I do agree that the bias of groupthink might still exist!
Is there not a risk with this approach with the validity and reliability of the 'intelligence' being shared. Biases of 'groupthink' may also come into play ?
