Collaborative learning strategies have positively affected learning outcomes at different levels of education from kindergarten to college. This study demonstrates the successful application of collaborative learning in teaching futures studies to two cohorts of undergraduate students over two semesters at Tamkang University. The article outlines the structure of the course, which embraced the principles of collaboratively learning in an attempt to engage active participation in thinking about the future. Students’ learning experiences are thematically explored and evidence shows positive interdependence was produced by groups working on analysis based on futures methodologies supported by Miro, an online collaborative whiteboard. An instructional outcomes framework for collaborative learning for futures studies emerges from the findings. The concluding discussion is structured using causal layered analysis, allowing for deeper insights into the underlying issues of student learning as well as solutions for possible problems.
