- | ==== 1. Tools used within the VCL Project ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In this section, focus on the tools that are used when conducting a Virtual Collaborative Learning (VCL) project. Digital tools play a critical role in enabling effective collaboration, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Different tools can be used in a VCL project. These can range from project management and communication platforms to specialized collaborative working tools. It will be explored how these tools help to support VCL execution and learners achieve their goals. | + | |

- | The structure of the project is also accompanied by the structure of the tasks. Similar to the structure of the project, this should form a common framework and be able to be smoothly integrated into the structure of the project.

- | * A1. It usually takes until all participants of the module have arrived on the platform in their respective group. That is why the first phase of the VCL is dedicated to onboarding. Here, a group contract is written within the group, which specifies general rules of cooperation, | + | |
- | * A2. A common ontology is also established so that professional terminology and commonly used terms are based on the same understanding within the group. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | * In the third task block, the planning of the idea is completed. This may include, for example, financial plans or revenue model. In addition, materials for the presentation of the idea are created. This includes theoretical presentation such as marketing strategy and materials or the final presentation in the module. | + | |

- | Blocks 2 and 3 are highly dependent on the objective of the case study. In general, the degree of difficulty and complexity increases from task block to task block, and the tasks build on each other. | + | |
