Collaborative learning is a key pedagogic activity in many media
education programmes in schools colleges and universities worldwide.
When well executed, collaborative work enables students to learn much
from each other and gain valuable experience of working in concert - a
skill central to contemporary work practices in many media industries.
Moreover, many media educators argue educational practices and
approaches should evolve and shift better to suit the networked nature
of contemporary media and collaborative learning activities can be
facilitated and enhanced by the use of social media.

This volume brings together chapters from leading researchers and
academics in institutions across the UK. Comprising of eight chapters

learning, the issues involved in using social media technologies for
collaboration, using wiki pages for learning and distributed
collaborative learning in rural locations.
