When designing any technology intervention, I try and incorporate the following skills from the graduate profile:

• Develop an understanding and appreciation of current issues and debates in the field;
• Develop the capacity to locate, evaluate and use the information effectively;
• Make appropriate use of advanced information and communication technologies; and
• Work independently and in collaboration with others.

With the rise of Web 2.0 (social technologies), it becomes essential for teachers to scaffold collaborative learning mediated through technologies in relevant contexts. This provides students with (1) an experience of the collaborative process online, including familiarity with the technology e.g. wiki, (2) exposure to etiquette online (netiquette) and (3) awareness of the challenges that influence good collaboration and the quality of the output e.g. copyright.
