collaborative intelligence

Collaborative intelligence encourages creating dynamic opportunities for learning communities to collaboratively create, refine, and share knowledge that models authentic learning experiences to prepare learners for educational growth and lifelong learning. In this model, intelligence is distributed amongst individuals and environments, and this is accomplished through social interactions rather than at the individual memorization of content. From this perspective, intelligence emerges through collaborative activities and by connections and interactions Collaborative intelligence involves promoting “a culture of knowledge sourcing and developing skills and strategies for knowledge collaboration and social learning”. The central idea behind collaborative intelligence is that knowledge and understanding are deeply rooted and enhanced by social interactions and that it relies on a network of connections.

Principles of collaborative intelligence

1. Teamwork leads to greater results than individual efforts.

 

2. Connection is essential for team success.
3. Collaboration cannot be left to chance.
4. Collaboration spaces empower linked teams.
5. Measuring collaboration is achievable and necessary.

 

For example: Peer-to-peer learning platforms with AI support, where students work together on projects with the aid of AI tools, are a particular example of collaborative intelligence in e-learning. Peergrade and Perusall are two platforms that allow students to annotate literature collaboratively, give feedback to their peers, and improve their comprehension through facilitated discussions.

 

 
Students annotate course readings using Perusall in a blended learning environment. AI systems draw attention to potential areas of community ignorance, encouraging cooperative dialogue. For instance, students in a history course work together to analyze a document from a primary source. A third student improves the group's view in light of peer input after one student draws attention to bias and another connects it to larger historical contexts. The AI highlights areas of misunderstanding, makes sure everyone is contributing in a meaningful way, and encourages the group .
