By Wikipedia

“Collaborative intelligence characterizes multi-agent, distributed systems where each agent, human, or machine is uniquely positioned with autonomy to contribute to a problem-solving network. Collaborative autonomy of organisms in their ecosystems makes evolution possible. Natural ecosystems, where each organism's unique signature is derived from its genetics, circumstances, behavior and position in its ecosystem, offer principles for design of next generation social networks to support collaborative intelligence, crowd-sourcing individual expertise, preferences, and unique contributions in a problem-solving process.”

By Mark Elliot of MetaCollab

"Collaborative Intelligence (CI) or collaborative intelligence quotient is a measure of the collaborative ability of a group or entity and speaks of the problem solving cabability of a group being much greater than the knowledge possessed by an individual group member. The ability for a group to solve a problem collectively is directly proportional to the number of members in a group. Knowledge derived from collaborative efforts is increasing proportionally to the reach of the world wide web, collaborative groupware like net meeting, and webex, and collaborative peer-to-peer projects like Wikipedia."

As groups work together they develop a shared memory. The memory is accessible through the collaborative artifacts created by the group: meeting minutes, transcripts from threaded discussions, drawings etc,. The shared memory (group memory) is also accessible through the memories of group members”.

By Muck (2015) in her research The Role of Recursive Feedback. A Case Study of e-Learning in Emergency Operations, collaborative intelligence, focuses on how students and facilitators interact which each other in order to build knowledge. In a traditional face-to-face environment, the facilitator would have to coordinate activities so that students would not all talk at the same time (P. 14).

According to Kalantzis and Cope (2015): “in the new media, peer-to-peer collaborations, from Wikipedia to the video library that is YouTube, are the product of massive social collaborations. So much for the culture of closed book examinations or isolated, individualized student work. The new media have made these ideas and practices anachronistic.

In the era of new media, learners assemble their knowledge representations in the form of rich, multimodal sources text, image, diagram, table, audio, video, hyperlink, infographic, and manipulable data with visualizations (p. 382).”

As mentioned previously, wikipedia is a perfect example of Collaborative Intelligence.

Based on the book The Experimental Nature of New Venture Creation (2013), “Wikipedia, as an Internet-based innovation network, manifests distributed collaborative intelligence, illustrating principles for experimental venture laboratories, high return startup accelerators based less upon traditional directioned innovation, more on intersecting networks and innovation clusters and the method being used in program development for a NASA initiated Planetary Sustainability Co•Laboratory (p. 127).”

If we're talking about Wikipedia, what are WIKIS?

The Center for Theaching of Vanderbilt University, described wiki as a “collaborative tool that allows students to contribute and modify one or more pages of course related materials. Wikis are collaborative in nature and facilitate community-building within a course. Essentially, a wiki is a web page with an open-editing system. Wikis in Plain English is a short movie describing what a wiki is and how it can be used in a collaborative process. According to a recent Essay on Teaching Excellence, wikis provide a vehicle for exercising most, if not all, of Bloom’s ‘higher order thinking’ activities.”
