Why is this important?
“We propose that the proliferation of Web 2.0 technologies and their incorporation into the learning and teaching environment means that academic staff and students will need
to develop skills in digital literacy to participate effectively in distributed project-based collaborative work.”
“A Social Media tool that has been built specifically to support that type of Engineering Design Communication has the potential to provide a more collaborative method of
communication.”

Question 3
Initial Recommendations
Recommendations: Communication
Students should discuss and test software that will aid global communication before beginning any design tasks.
A single social network platform should be used.
Recommendation: Communication
A video conference tool should be used regularly to simulate face-to-face meetings.
Students should use a cloud storage solution.
Recommendations: Communication
All tools (social network, cloud storage and video conferencing) should have fully featured mobile applications.
Recommendations: Process and Structure
One team member should be assigned the role of minute secretary.
One team member should be assigned the role of communications secretary.
