Knowledge Development, Technology and Quality of Experience in Collaborative Learning Environments

Collaborative learning approach is becoming more and more popular in practice, and technology is becoming more and relevant to assure learning outcomes. Several recent studies have investigated the role of technology, as well as researchers have defined different metrics to assess learning outcomes and experience along the collaborative knowledge development process. More recently, technology has played a key role to face the new challenges related to COVID-19, which forced the learning process to move to virtual or hybrid environments. This research focuses on the quality of learning experience in terms of academic performance and perceived satisfaction. A conceptual framework has been proposed and a quantitative study has been conducted among undergraduate and postgraduate students that are undertaking programs related to System Design in Saudi Arabia universities. 152 responses have been collected through an online survey and analysed using SPSS and SmartPLS. Results show a positive impact of technology along the collaborative knowledge development process and a strong correlation among the different quality of learning experience parameters considered. Those findings are expected to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s vision 2030 and, more holistically, to the assessment of collaborative learning environments that extensively rely on technology, as well as to support further exploration for researchers and academics in learning contexts.
