A systematic literature review on collaborative learning in nurse and midwifery online training

Collaborative learning is quite a commonly adopted approach in healthcare professionals' training because it fits particularly well with training needs and aims in this field. Despite this, it seems the situation in online settings is not the same and for sure it still needs to be investigated. The paper contributes to the field by describing the results of a systematic literature review conducted at the intersection between the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning research and the nurse and midwifery training fields, to deepen knowledge about the collaborative activities run online, their main characteristics, as well as the technologies adopted. The main aim is to identify future research areas to be further explored.
