Collaborating with Technology for Group Assignments: Student Perspectives During the Pandemic
This experience report presents the perceptions of 24 university students of their collaboration in two group projects in the spring semester of 2020. In critical thinking papers, students described their use of digital technology to work together. It emerges that during the lockdown, students needed to collaborate synchronously in order to strengthen the social and human dimensions of collaboration. The pandemic situation, saturated by digital technology, led them to discard the asynchronous collaborative applications required in the course in favour of digital tools allowing synchronous collaboration.
