Collaborative learning, there are so many different web2.o tools that support students collaborating together in order to learn. I have used etherpad a number of times and the students really enjoy it. While I'm a Moodle advocate, that does not mean I limit myself to Moodle activities. There is nothing stopping you adding a link on your Moodle page that then takes students to another web activity. For a really nice example of how a teacher has utilised Etherpad for collaborative learning check this link out.

Do you know that Etherpad has been gobbled up by Google and is on its way out.
They have let their source code go so I would opt for
Primary Pad or Pirate Pad instead.

Thanks for that info Allanah, really appreciate the links to the others tools, will investigate them over the next few weeks. Mel
Yes, thanks Allanah! Having only just discovered etherpad this week, it was then frustrating to learn it was on its way even before term 2 starts!
