Portable Technologies in Collaborative Learning

Abstract

Portable technologies offer new opportunities for collaboration learning. It is shifting learning process from pedagogy to cybergogy. Cybergogy focuses on helping adults and young people to learn in a virtual world by promoting and technologically allowing autonomous and interactive learning based on learners. The study established that 50.6% of variation in collaborative learning in basic education was accounted for by portable technologies. The portable technology framework for collaborative learning (PTFCL) so developed showed the critical indicators to enhance collaborative learning. The findings of this study would inform stakeholders on how one could measure the level of ICT integration for collaborative learning in basic education.
