 * Part 3: //The use of collaborative frameworks in blended learning contexts from around the globe.//**


 * //Group Members://** ("Seminar" groups)


 * //Timeframe://** //Week 2 (Sunday the 18th of July to Wednesday the 21st of July)//


 * //Learning Intention://** (I think we should stick to only the four/five LI"s we have identified in the proposal/task instructions. Otherwise we are introducing new things - might get confusing) Have adjusted.
 * We are learning to identify the key strategies for ‘best practice' in supporting collaboration in an online environment.
 * Actively participate in a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) experience.


 * //Process://**
 * Each member of your team should be an expert in one of the 3 frameworks (from Part 2 activity) < we have chosen which facilitate quality collaborative and co-operative experiences in both an online environment .>Is this part necessary? Probbaly not! Just trying to reinforce. Can delete.

 * At the end of this section, you should have gathered some strategies for sustaining an effective online environment and be able to utilize them in your own context.


 * Our teams “top 8” strategies for ‘best practice ; in supporting collaboration in an online environment and supporting reasons are:**
