In this module, we focus on online opportunities to collaborate. The Internet distributes connections and ideas more effectively than most of us could ever have imagined just a few years ago. In fact, the earliest online communities shed light on the promise of how collaborative online spaces could become the locus of rich and vibrant experiences in learning together. Have a look at some of the blog posts here about online communities.
Creating an online space that allows for this type of exchange within a learning and teaching context can be done in two ways:
- through participating in digital communities for learning that already exist, and/or
- by building your own learning network.
In the meantime, you can visit the Extend Toolkit to learn more about options for online collaboration tools.
