Collaboration

Networking (acquaintance, contact and exchange of experiences and advice) is one of the main tools to support and promote the professional career. It is important to remember that networking is a means of aid effectiveness at work and career growth. It requires time, thought, action ability, but the long term rewards can be huge .

The arrival of the Internet makes it particularly easy to share information for citizens. Copy, modify, redistribute, all of this is done now with just a few clicks.

This can be used for many types of group work where groups are asked to discuss a question, find information about a subject, test different ICT tools or web services, brainstorm ideas etc. The students can either be in the same room or work virtually. For virtual work it is necessary to establish how the different groups will communicate during the group work – eg Skype or Google Hangout.
