The aim of this study was to examine the use of online collaborative problem-solving for promoting the performance among Economics students. In addition, the effect of Collaborative Problem-solving using Edmodo was examined. A follow-up interview after the interventions was carried out to examine students’ own perceptions of this method. This study employed the mixed method explanatory design. Quantitative study used the descriptive method and interviews were employed in the qualitative method. A total of 112 students from a public university in Malaysia was selected randomly as samples. The findings of the quantitative results revealed a significant result of students’ academic performance and collaborative problem-solving skills. Future research can focus on communication skill and teamwork skill during students’ discussion.
