[...] les principaux chercheurs qui ont analysé l'apprentissage coopératif [...] définissent l'apprentissage par les pairs comme une stratégie d'apprentissage qui amène un petit groupe hétérogène d'élèves à travailler ensemble à l'atteinte d'un but commun. La stratégie d'apprentissage mise en œuvre dans un tel contexte vise l'atteinte d'objectifs tant cognitifs qu'affectifs et s'appuie sur l'nterdépendance de même que sur la responsabilité individuelle de chacun des membres du groupe. 2, record 1, French, - apprentissage%20entre%20pairs

Online learning support is an integral part of the online learning process in guiding learners and providing feedback(Coomey & Stephenson, 2001; Oliver, 2001). In learner-centred instruction, learners direct and control various aspects of their learning(e. g. learning outcomes, choice of group members), with instructors in the background providing advice and general guidelines on resources and procedures. Various means of online learning support include :-Learning guides(e. g. generic ones on study and research skills or specific guides on how to complete a particular online course).-Online mentors and buddies who facilitate, coach or guide learners through the course.-Online personal learning portfolios(e. g. learners’ journals, personal learning logs) to promote self-reflection(a critical component of learner-centred instruction).-Online public learning portfolios to encourage peer review and feedback on each other's work. 1, record 4, English, - online%20learning%20support

Pour ceux-ci [les membres du corps enseignant], la conception de modules, de cours et de programmes en ligne peut demander beaucoup de temps, sans compter celui qu'ils doivent consacrer à la formation de la plupart des apprenants en ligne. C'est pourquoi on ne peut pas s'attendre à ce qu'ils maintiennent leur appui à l'apprentissage en ligne tout en continuant à s'acquitter de leurs tâches traditionnelles d'enseignement, de recherche et d'engagement communautaire. 1, record 4, French, - appui%20%C3%A0%20l%27apprentissage%20en%20ligne
