Abstrakt
The paper focuses on collaborative activities used in one form of distance learning, the so called home-schooling. As shown by several authors, collaborative activities play an important role in face-to-face education, regardless of their form.
In the here presented study the focus is on collaborative activities used in online teaching and learning. The authors analyse what type of collaboration particular activities support and look at their advantages, disadvantages as well as their limits.
Attention is also paid to their potential to get home-schoolers more involved in collaborative activities. The results were obtained through analysis of several online lessons and from interviews with a small number of pupils.
