collaboration

collaboration is different from group work because it incorporates everyone. each person brings their ideas to the table and everyone recognizes each others strengths and weaknesses and respects them. often in group work one person is stuck with the majority of the work - ideally collaboration evenly divides the work among group members - so that everyone is heading toward a common goal, project etc.

a highly effective team or group would be one that revolves around respect. it is okay to be critical of other people's ideas but it must be in a respectful we. a highly effect team would recognize each others strengths, what that person can bring to the table, and their weaknesses. and be open to new ideas and the fact that their own idea might not be the best. and that the ultimate goal desired is the best final "project."
