Student co-creation in the online learning environment
The inclusion of collaborative activities in online learning can promote positive student performance outcomes. Collaborative group interactions facilitate active learning, shared knowledge, and promote social interaction and a supportive online learning community. Collaboration also models how to work with others in real-world situations. These collaborative activities help prepare students for the 21st-century workplace, including learning how to share ideas, express opinions, and manage time.
The UOW online learning environment (Moodle) includes three (3) activities which allow collaboration and co-creation opportunities:
- Wikis
- Blogs
- Databases
Each article in this collection outlines the kinds of tasks possible, potential assessment opportunities, and initial set up for each of these three activities.
