Using Bb Collaborate

Must • Needs good structure and clear purpose (Bodey, Ravaga & Sloan 2016)

• Identify participants and provide useful content to motivate collaborative and interactive learning (Brindley et al. 2009)

Benefits • Interaction, connectedness and support for course content including

assessment (Bodey, Ravaga & Sloan 2016)

Otherwise • Could become a clunky environment without the technical

proficiency of participants (Yamagata-Lynch 2014)
