April 22, 2015If anything, web technologies have redesigned the notion of collaboration and rendered it an open construct independent of any conceivable spatio-temporal constraints. For instance, in our educational context, possibilities for collaborative learning are bigger than ever before. Teachers and students have at their hands a variety of powerful softwares and web-based tools to help them engage in collaborative learning anytime, anywhere. From popular learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard, Collaborate, and Moodle to social networking websites like Twitter and Google Plus, collaboration opportunities are limitless.When we talk about collaborative tools we are basically referring to web tools that allow teachers and students to do the following: communicate either synchronously or asynchronously, collaborate in creative ways, engage in interactive discussions, easily share and access learning resources (i.e documents, PDFs, files, calendars) and many more.To this end, we have curated this list to share with you what we think are some of the best web-based tools to enhance teachers-students collaboration and ultimately, boost students learning.The first challenge we encountered when we started working on this post is the huge number of platforms that can be placed under category of collaboration. Blogging platforms such as Blogger and Wordpress, social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus, cloud storage tools such as Google Drive and Dropbox are all great tools to use for collaboration but since we have covered several of these titles in previous posts we are only concerned here with the ones that are probably less known among teachers.
