Learners don’t always know how to use technology to effectively support their learning
“To begin with it was a bit daunting…. different from regular essays… but I found it really good.”
Context is key
“The seminars we did with [Lecturer A] were really good and helpful and they tried to make us comfortable with the technology we were using.”
Social tools can help build group rapport
“I ended up talking a lot more to people that I normally work with and they probably wouldn’t talk to you in class at all.”
