What is collaborative writing : Its writing that involves learners interacting in pairs or groups on a specific writing task. Two key components in collaborative writing are verbal interaction with the group (or your partner) and writing. Verbal interaction is fundamental to collaborative writing. Collaboration is known as the sharing of labor. Thus collaborative writing is the sharing of labor as youre writing. You are coauthoring a text with your group or partner. There are three distinguishing features of collaborative writing which are: 1) the interaction between the group during ALL stages of the writing process 2) shared power among the group in decision making. No group member is in charge of all the text produced. 3) The production of one single and specific document.

The process of collaborative writing is where all participants work together and interact throughout the writing process, everyone contributes to planning, making of ideas, making structure of text, editing, and the revision process. Often times collaborative writing is used in instances where a workload would be overwhelming for one person to produce. Therefore ownership of the text is from the group that produced it.
