Web 2 Collaboration Tools
Genuine collaboration and group work can be two different things. Group work often reduces to task delegation. However when groups are collaborating participants co-create a product or body of knowledge through negotiation, discussion and shared decision making. This type of learning activity happens best when a group of students work together in the same space. The products listed below provide a genuinely
collaborative online experience for students and teachers to facilitate anywhere, anytime learning.
