FUTURE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS EVALUATE INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PERFORMANCE IN WEB 2.0 BASED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Tharrenos Bratitsis, University of Western Macedonia, Greece

This paper raises the issue of students being able to evaluate their performance and participation in collaborative learning activities, both on an individual and a group level. It reports findings of a comparative study, using a blog, a wiki and a discussion forum, in which students documented their preference of a Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) tool as a collaboration platform, along with their perception of the tool’s effect on the actual collaboration. Finally, it addresses issues on students’ common misconceptions on aspects of collaboration.
