A sound analysis on learning portfolios and exploring those links among learningbehaviors will substantially lead us to discover the factors that motivate creativity andobtained findings can be used by educators for teaching, guidance, and assistance.Therefore, this study explores two analytic factors: learning behavior and cognition portfolioin light of the theory of creativity development.

The positive interpersonal relationships promoted throughcooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial to today’s learning communities. Theyincrease the quality of social adjustment to college life, reduce uncertainties about attendingcollege, and increase integration into college life. Isolation and alienation, on the other hand,often lead to failure. Two major reasons for dropping out of college are: failure to establish asocial network of classmates and failure to become academically involved in classes.

important reason could be the fact that there is little or no structure to the activities in theseuses of wikis. On the other hand, in our approach, the activities are designed to trigger cognitiveconflict leading to students engaging in effective collaborative learning.Some researchers have suggested that technology, which is indeed the backbone of CSCL, shouldbe exploited to realize some unique possibilities: • The fact that CSCL environments can record the interactions in detail allows researchers to zoom in and see what exactly is going on during the collaborative interactions 16 , making it a richer design environment for the researcher; • Computational media, being configurable and adaptive, can make new interactions

It involves effectivecommunication among students and capitalizing on each other’s strengths. Adaptive engagementrefers to student groups adjusting to problems spaces and exploring multiple competing ideas.
