So far in this course, you have only looked at discussion as a means for learners to collaborate. There are, however, many ways to promote collaborative learning, including group projects, virtual teams, team papers, group presentations, and role-play activities. There are also many tools that facilitate collaboration, including Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional, Wimba, Horizon Live, and Groove—the list goes on and on.
For this discussion, conduct independent research on a collaborative tool or learning method and present your findings to the rest of the group. Please include a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of your choices.
