This study explores the complex dynamics of collaborative learning among online flexible distance students in higher education. Structural equation modeling collected from 388 students using Smartpls4 for analysis reveals complex relationships between interactions with tutors, social presence, social media use, and the mediating role of digital learning attitudes. The research makes important contributions to theory and practice by deepening our understanding of the determinants of collaborative learning in online university education. This knowledge can guide targeted interventions and policy initiatives to promote collaborative learning that positively impacts the learning environment. This study provides strong support for all seven hypotheses and provides strong results that increase the credibility of the identified relationships, providing empirical evidence to guide future research and evidence-based decision-making to strengthen collaborative learning in online universities. In addition, this study contributes to the field by illuminating the complexities underlying digital collaborative learning. A detailed analysis of the relationships between different variables provides valuable information about the factors that contribute to successful cooperative learning. This study highlights the importance of promoting digital learning attitudes and improving communication in an online educational environment. It also provides a strong foundation for educational leaders and policymakers to develop effective strategies that promote collaborative learning among online students in higher education, thereby improving the overall quality of the learning environment. These findings support strong empirical evidence and pave the way for more informed decision-making and future research in the field of digital education.
