Developing collaborative study skills
The module Developing digital problem-solving skills looked at the way one teacher develops each learner’s independent problem-solving skills through a simulation of practical difficulties arising with the digital technologies they are using.
This module extends that exercise to concentrate on collaborative working to resolve issues, an essential employment skill.
