By factor analysing the survey response from 182 students in previous study, ‘peer interaction’ component was identified, and therefore used as the coding category for the content analysis, to study students’ comments and posts in web 2.0 tools. It was found that peer interaction can be further elaborated into different aspects, such as forming cross-checking and expressing personal thoughts. The next study will focus on other identified components in collaborative learning environment. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
