description: This paper will describe how research on online interactions led to the development of a  Collaborative Online Learning (COL) Model at Open University Malaysia (OUM). The  model aimed to improve the quality of learning and to develop a set of skills required of  graduates today for a K-society. The model also reinforces the development of skills  such as analytical, problem-solving, communication and ICT literacy as well as being  able to use the latest information technologies to conduct research, identify relevant  resources, select the right information, analyse and make presentations, share resources,  collaborate and become team players. This “hidden curriculum” is realized through  learner engagement in online discussions among course mates. In the discussions, they  would be contributing opinions, suggestions, ideas, information based on research while  working collaboratively as a team on a particular course-related assignment. The latter  could be a specific task, problem, scenario or case study. The paper will also describe an  ongoing research on the gradual implementation of the COL model over several  semesters.
