Collaboration
According to International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) student standards #2, students should use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
Under Alberta Education's Learning and Technology Policy Framework Policy Outcome 1: Student-Centred Learning it states:
Students use technology, online learning and digital learning to demonstrate good communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively with others
From BC’s Digital Literacy Framework on Communication and Collaboration:
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
Social competencies are also needed for full participation in digital society, which media scholar Henry Jenkins describes as a “participatory culture” that is developed through collaboration and networking.
