Online Learners Frustration - Report



Results from this study has revealed that frustration is a common feeling among students involved in online

collaborative learning experiences. The perception of an asymmetric collaboration among

the teammates was identified by the students as the most important source of frustration.


Online learners also identified difficulties related to group organization, the lack of shared

goals among the team members, the imbalance in the level of commitment and quality of


the individual contributions, the excess time spent on the online CSCL tasks, the imbalance

between the individual and collective grades, and difficulties in communication, among

other factors leading to frustration.
