Getting your students to collaborate online can be difficult, especially on programmes where students may not already have bonded through face-to-face sessions. However, there are some tools and technologies that you can use to facilitate collaborative activities between your students.

e-Learning Toolkit

1. Wikis
   Create an online space for students to collate their ideas, research and evidence. Wikis support version control, allowing you to view any changes made over a period of time – and for students to revert any changes if necessary. Wiki platforms generally allow students to hold discussions alongside any content they create.
2. Discussion Forums
   Created directly in LearningSpace, forums provide a space for asynchronous discussion 24/7.
