Abstract:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures put in place by governments to contain its spread have shaken the traditional ways of offering education the world over. Developing countries were hit hard because most of them were still depending on wall and chalkboard classrooms to conduct classes. Lockdowns and social distancing measures left schools and colleges unable to conduct classes thus affecting thousands and thousands of learners. This situation has prompted both educators and technologists to seek best ways of delivering credible education remotely. Collaborative learning (CL) is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product [1]. It is important to investigate how this can be achieved through mobile technology. A group of 30 learners were broken into 3 smaller groups of 10 and were given tasks to work together. Each member in a group was given a small task to accomplish.
