Also, despite the importance of active learning strategies, particularly collaborative learning, it is imperative to provide mechanisms that enable them to be used when teaching online. Accordingly, the significance of the current study lies in the ability to design learning to incorporate collaborative learning techniques into online teaching. This is done by utilizing the breakout groups feature in Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a Blackboard collaborative breakout group on the cognitive achievement of physical education teaching styles.
