Online Collaboration
The Online Collaboration module covers the main concepts and skills needed to collaborate online using web-based tools and services.
Online collaborative tools are now an integral part of the school learning environment. Teachers utilise online collaboration tools for collaborative assignments and tasks for both in and outside class. They can be used to help develop active learning assignments, facilitate team-building activities, and help students engage with the content through group activities and peer-to-peer learning.
