This article examines modern approaches to utilizing online collaborative platforms in organizing the educational process in higher education institutions. The study analyzes contemporary pedagogical models, digital learning environments, and methodological strategies that support effective implementation of collaborative technologies. Particular attention is given to the transformation of traditional instructional practices into interactive, student-centered, and competency-based learning models through the integration of platforms such as Moodle, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Zoom.
The article identifies the pedagogical advantages of digital collaboration, including enhanced communication, collective knowledge construction, formative assessment opportunities, and the development of critical thinking and digital competence. It also addresses methodological, organizational, and ethical challenges associated with the integration of online platforms in higher education. The findings emphasize that the effectiveness of digital collaborative tools depends on instructional design quality, digital literacy development, and institutional support
