This paper focuses on the implementation of using collaborative learning via virtual communities in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) with a vision to identify three things: students’ perception, their active participation in virtual learning groups, students’ satisfaction with this new strategy of learning, and the relationship between gender and the latter. To answer these questions, the present research adopts a quantitative method using a questionnaire for data gathering and the use of IBM SPSS for data analysis. The findings of the present study demonstrate that students hold positive attitudes towards online collaborative learning, students are active participants in the online learning process; students are satisfied and able to develop many skills like, problem solving skills, communication skills, and critical thinking skills. Last but not least, the findings also show that gender does not affect the effectiveness of using collaborative learning in virtual communities. Thus, the implementation of this up-dated strategy of learning is useful and needed to fulfill the missing gaps in the traditional ways of teaching/learning English as a foreign language in the Moroccan higher education.

Aprendizaje Colaborativo

Comunicarse de manera efectiva y apropiada en una lengua extranjera (FL) implica dominar las cuatro habilidades lingüísticas, comprensión y expresión escritas (CE-EE) y comprensión y expresión oral (CO-EO). Sin embargo, no se desarrollan al mismo nivel durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en entornos formales. El desarrollo de la expresión oral en FFL es a menudo un desafío para los profesores debido a condicionantes tales como la falta de motivación y sentimientos de inhibición, falta de seguridad o confianza en sí mismo del alumno. A estos, se suman otros como falta de tiempo, grandes grupos de alumnos o vacíos metodológicos y evaluativos que complican la práctica de esta competencia en el aula. Este trabajo presenta un proyecto educativo implementado en la clase FLE donde la Francofonía, el uso de las TIC y el aprendizaje colaborativo son fundamentales para desarrollar la expresión oral del aprendientee al mismo tiempo que ayuda a fortalecer sus habilidades personales. Communicating effectively and appropriately in a SL implies mastering the four language skills, i.e. written comprehension and expression and oral comprehension and expression. However, not all develop equally during the teaching-learning process in formal contexts.The development of oral expression in FFL is often a challenge for teachers and students due to conditions such as lack of motivation and feelings of inhibition of the students, lack of security or self-confidence. To these are added others such as lack of time, large groups of students or methodological and evaluative gaps that contribute significantly to hinder the practice of this competence in the classroom. This paper presents a teaching project implemented in the FFL classroom where Francophonie, the use of ICT and collaborative learning are key to developing the oral expression of the learner contributing to reinforcing their personal skills. Communiquer efficacement et de manière appropriée dans une langue étrangère (LE) implique de maîtriser les quatre compétences linguistiques, la compréhension et expression écrites (CE-EE) et la compréhension et expression orales (CO-EO). Cependant, elles ne se développent pas au même niveau au cours du processus d’enseignement-apprentissage dans des contextes formels. Le développement de l’expression orale en FLE est souvent un défi pour les enseignants en raison de conditions tellles que le manque de motivation et les sentiments d’inhibition de l’élève, le manque de sécurité ou de confiance en soi. À ceux-ci s’ajoutent d’autres comme le manque de temps, de grands groupes d’étudiants ou des lacunes méthodologiques et évaluatives qui réduisent la pratique de cette compétence en classe. Cet ouvrage presente un projet pédagogique mis en oeuvre en classe FLE où la Francophonie, l’utilisation des TIC et l’apprentissage collaboratif sont essentiels pour développer l’expression orale de l’apprenant en même temps qu’elle contribue à renforcer ses compétences personnelles.

Learning ecosystems can benefit from mass collaboration where large numbers of minds collectively drive intellectual efforts to learn in the form of knowledge building and sharing. Mass collaborative learning represents a significant shift away from traditional teacher-centered approach towards a self-directed model in virtual communities in which contributing members take on creative roles to maximize their learning and that of their peers. In order to design, implement, and exploit such a learning approach, influencing constituents should be identified, and appropriate conditions need to be provided. This study aims to systematically review recent literature with a view to identifying relevant affecting constituents and success factors for mass collaboration and learning—namely, the type of organizational structures, collaborative learning techniques, adopted technologies, and methods for evaluating the quality of both members’ performance, and co-created knowledge. Therefore, 100 related papers are collected, and their findings are critically evaluated. The results of evaluation are then addressed and discussed.

The development of knowledge society and the conception of human capital stimulated creation of a different view to human resources. The key factors of company success are not just material and financial sources; greater attention is given to talents. Human resources present most important strategic assets of a company. Employees that can be marked as “talents” have the greatest importance. Organizations receive talents differently, which is caused by different environments and conditions. Implementation of talent management in practice is not yet distinct, since there is a lack of process idea. The chapter focuses on an overview of the opinions of experts on talent management in literature, identification and evaluation of career building of employees in an industrial company in Slovakia, with suggestions on the application of a talent management model.
