Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has undergone significant advancements in the past two decades, revolutionizing the way learners engage with educational content and peers. This abstract explores key trends in CSCL, including the evolution of online communication and collaboration platforms, the impact of mobile technologies, the integration of data analytics, and the emergence of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments. Additionally, the ongoing pandemic has accelerated the adoption of online and blended learning models, further shaping CSCL. These trends have transformed collaborative learning, allowing learners to exchange ideas, co-create knowledge, and engage in meaningful discussions. The utilization of data analytics enables personalized instruction and targeted support, enhancing learners' engagement and motivation. Immersive VR/AR environments promote active participation and deeper learning. Looking ahead, hybrid models combining face-to-face and online collaboration are likely to shape the future of CSCL. As instructional practices adapt and technology advances, creating engaging and effective learning environments remains a crucial focus in CSCL.
