A small scale project to investigate the current and potential use of collaborative tools at sheffield hallam university

Abstract

This poster presents key findings based on a current project exploring the further use and deployment of new and developing collaboration tools in undergraduate distance learning and on-campus courses based at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU). An extensive report and tool base has been produced to make recommendations of collaborative technologies to support teaching delivery and assessment of courses at undergraduate level. Initial primary research has been carried out to evaluate pros and cons of existing tools currently used in group and self-based assessment in undergraduate modules.
