Collaborative work, experiential learning, and digital literacy are fast becoming the cornerstones of coursework in higher education. Team work is an essential component of many jobs, students learn better when they are actively involved in their education, and though many "digital natives" are adept at navigating social networking sites on the web, few are well versed enough to harness the creative powers of computers and the internet to produce content. This presentation will demonstrate how to plan a new media or multi-media project in a fully online environment. It will cover how to actively teach students to work in groups and how to support them through the collaborative process. Topics covered will include: breaking larger projects into smaller steps; supplementing the collaborative tools in a course management system with wiki's, blogs and collaboration tools such as GoogleDocs; training students to use freeware; and finding a place to publish student work.
