17. Impressions UMass(MBA ) Daystar Faculty The wiki was a great collaboration platform – it’s nice to be able to add work, and edit the work of others, slowly molding and shaping text into a final product. I found my [SA] teammates to be knowledgeable and very willing to help. I was particularly surprised, and am not sure why, that their depth and knowledge of our topic equaled ours. Perhaps it was a stereotype to think their educational system would not be on the same level as ours, but it was quite the opposite … students participated in the group activities very well and ended up learning more than they thought they would… More tasks should be done in collaboration with students from other countries. Activities that require the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr should be introduced and added to the module.
18. Impressions Computers must be up to standard … there was not enough collaboration between SA and USA students. Team issues!
