Through the lens of collaborative learning theory with its social constructivist principles of peer learning, reciprocal teaching, shared knowledge and resources, interdependence and group work, this chapter examines a partnership that was funded over a ten-year period by the East and South African-German Centre of Excellence in Educational Research Methods and Management (CERM-ESA) and is guided by the principles of collaborative learning.
