Definition of Terms
• E-Learning is a learning environment supported at the continuously evolving, collaborative processes focused on increasing individual and organizational performance (Robert K Logan).
• Cooperative Learning a teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject (David & Roger Johnson)

– In cooperative learning, students work face-to-face
• Collaborative Learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to create a meaningful project. – In collaborative learning students work
in different locations sharing their ideas over the Internet
