Аннотация:Period of the Covid-19 isolation increased need to put into practice new educational technologies supporting innovative teaching in higher education worldwide. Current contribution aims to present results of pilot experiment with engaging Russian university teachers in Humanities who did not practice peer instruction in their traditional daily teaching activity to induce collaborative learning platforms into their everyday professional work. We focused on the Perusall platform as one of the leading Web-based applications enabling socio-constructivist approach in education and full-scale peer-to-peer learning and teaching practices. Yet, the platform as well as general collaborative learning theory and good practices are scarcely used in Russian universities. Therefor we elaborated an effective framework for teachers of humanitarian disciplines, not acquainted with the peer-to-peer methodology, to get acquainted with the basic theoretical principles of collaborative learning and to acquire necessary practical skills for its implementation. This experimental framework has been tested in the process of teacher training.
