What is the difference between cooperative and collaborative learning?


During The Interlink workshop in the States, my friend Khalofah al sherey asked an important question.  The question was what is the difference between collaborative and cooperative learning. We all tried to think of an answer to his question. After the session I went online and found many results. At the beginning I thought there was a difference but, I could not put my finger on it. After the discussion I became very interested in knowing the difference. 

To start with, the two words ; cooperate and collaborate do not mean the exact thing. that what lead me to think there was  difference in meaning.  I read these articles and I would like to share it with the group. I think it was a good question and a good discussion.
