Research
“Asynchronous writing results in richer communication” (Mabrito, 2006).
“Online collaborative writing produces higher quality writing than face-to-face collaboration” (Passig and Schwartz, 2007).Why?
Successful teaching today requires:
Experimentation.
Co-creation of content.
Relinquishing control.
Tolerance [encouragement] of failure.
