EdTech: Developing collaborative study skills
The module Developing digital problem-solving skills looked at the way one teacher develops each learner’s independent problem-solving skills through a simulation of practical difficulties arising with the digital technologies they are using.
This module extends that exercise to concentrate on collaborative working to resolve issues, an essential employment skill.

Useful resources at the bottom of the page
A good scenario worked well at getting the point across
Very good example--and follows on from a previous module neatly.
Getting students to work on problem solving tasks is a great way for them to bond and generate more ideas. These are transferable skills in the work place.
Very useful
Clear
Good module ,thank you.
This built on well from the previous activity and added extra ideas to it.
some good ideas on tasks to set learners
This is more an in class activity not a online activity. Cannot really be used for the units I teach.
Some interesting ideas to explore.
Good
N/A currently
Software is designed to allow collaboration.
Nice example and gives a holistic perspective on both study skills and collaboration but would have helped if the quiz had specified which THREE answers applied. I thought all 4 could apply and spent a few mins trying to woork out why I couldn't submit all 4.
Some good further resources mentioned
Very useful collaborative ideas.
good way for lecturers to get students involved in their learning.
The resources at the end of the module are helpful. It would be better if there was more detail on the individual activities that we were introduced to in the video
