Collaboration - groupwork Q4. My group was able to collaborate effectively online.(3/15 disagree) Q8. I found that my group was able to engage effectively with the facilitator online.

Collaboration - tools Q6. The discussion groups and similar tools enabled my group to communicate even when we were not all online. (11/15 agree) Q5. The online tools provided enabled my group to hold effective online meetings. (5/15 agree)

Other Tools Q7. My group used additional online tools (e.g. Facebook) to collaborate online. (14/15 agree) Facebook:11 Skype: Mobile Phones:5 Google Docs:1

Preferences Q9. I prefer meeting online to meeting face-to- face. (3/15 agree) Q10. I contributed more to the online discussions than I would in a face-to- face meeting. (2/15 agree)

Creativity “I think It was a good experience, but a hard one ” “I found it hard to fulfil our commitment when collaborating online.” “Communicating through computer or other tools is time consuming” Q11. I feel that working online made our collaborations less creative. (10/15 agree)

Conclusions Limited success – All groups collaborated and submitted. – Effective group communication part of the challenge. – Students probably would not agree...! Lessons learned – Synchronous communication tool (Pronto) – Greater familiarity required
