Opportunities to seize:
• Voice (VoiceThread) and video creation (Kaltura) provide good ways to increase interaction and engagement.
• Open Badges contribute to student’s professional online identity creation.
• Use of tools such as Glossary can provide “self-build” shared dictionary
• Connections outlive the course because of the networks created within students’ own personal spaces.

Challenges to address
• Messaging – students find Moodle’s filtered system confusing
• Walls need holes! Communication takes place in many different spaces, aggregation using hashtags facilitates a view of this.
• Greater awareness of open badges for employability/skills recognition needed.
• Institutional policies and regulations can impede intra-institutional collaboration
