Background
less didactic lecture-based teaching.<br>
new challenges in how students are supported with ICT.
less interaction in class
Methods
a curation platform (Scoop.it) and a wiki within our virtual learning environment
undertook student surveys to capture perceptions of the tools and information on how they were used
employed software user metrics to explore the extent to which they were used during the year.
game-based learning and teaching method
Results
student groups developed a preferred way of working early in the course. Most groups used Facebook to<br>facilitate communication within the group, and to host documents and notes.
there were more barriers to using the wiki and curation platform
a small number of staff posted resources and reviewed student posts on the curation platform.
Conclusions
optimum use of these tools depends on sufficient training of both staff and students
