16. Some further results
Poster
• What social software
tools are used by
collaborative
activity?
• Which collaborative
activities are
performed within
teaching tasks?
Data Report (in July)

17. Conclusions
Collaboration in
teaching takes place
… but not by means of
Social Software Tools!

18. Further research?
Case Study ≈ Show Case:
Periodic repetition of the survey?

19. Thank you!
Remarks? Questions?
“It might also be
questioned whether
cooperation and
social media is
perhaps attributed a
higher potential
than they actually
have… “
