A key aspect of cooperative, collaborative, and social learning experiences is active participation and contributions that aid the group. Participation is often misconstrued as 'turning up', but it should only be used at times when learners are required to engage and contribute. It can be used to recognise social skills and activities that are required for the group to function, such as organisation, facilitation, inclusion, and communication. In this way, the productive element is their effort towards the group and the shared experience. It can be captured through wiki and forum contributions, workshop involvement, group work facilitation, and through engagement in conversations, collaboration and sharing.
